Preparing for EPA
The team provides extensive preparation for the EPA process, introducing the basic ideas early on but with a significant emphasis during level 6. Sessions will be provided for Q&A as well as exercises to help prepare for the challenges of the EPA meeting.
We will also use the Gateway process during Level 6 as an opportunity for candidates to review their competencies and their readiness to be examined.
