Welcome to your EPA Product Newsletter!

We hope you have been enjoying the sunnier weather; we certainly have. This month we share updates on a new Early Years Practitioner document, a Business Administrator mock exam, and links to our informative and engaging webinar resources.

NEW Mapping and Tracking document for Early Years Practitioner

 A brand-new Mapping and Tracking Form has been created for this standard, making it easy and efficient to map evidence according to the thematic order. In total, there are now three mapping and tracking documents for you to choose from:

Thematic Order (Ungrouped) – This new document includes an ungrouped list of blank evidence boxes followed by a list of knowledge, skills and behaviours that are assigned to the Professional Discussion and underpinned by the portfolio. As the ‘Evidence Number’ column is being filled in for this section, the section below is automatically populated, organising each evidence number according to the theme it relates to quickly and conveniently.

Thematic Order (Grouped) – This document includes blank evidence boxes that are grouped according to the eight themes. Each section lists the KSBs that are included within each theme. Further evidence boxes are included so that any additional evidence can also be added.

 Duties (Grouped) – This document includes blank evidence boxes that are grouped by the ten duties. Each of these sections lists the KSBs included within each of these duties. Further evidence boxes are included for any additional evidence to be added.

NEW Business Administrator Mock Exams

We have created a new mock knowledge test and mark scheme for this standard so that Apprentices are able to practice before they take their actual exam. This mock test replaces the previous mock test and can be taken in either Word or Excel. The self-marking Excel sheet features drop-down answers and an automatically-generated outcome, whereas the Word document includes a list of correct answers at the bottom of the question-and-answer section for learners to check manually. Both of these options are located in the Support Materials section of EPAPro.

Webinar Resources

Our TQUK webinars have been transformed into video resources so that you can easily refer back to any webinar, or perhaps you missed one and would like to catch up. Webinars have been edited to include chapters at the beginning, making it easy for you to access the section you are interested in.

In addition to the links below, webinars are available to view on EPAPro in the Support Video Section. The current ones available are:
