FAS: Develop relationships with levy employers The employer levy presents a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurial apprenticeship training providers to work more strategically with levy paying employers and help them plan their workforce development. FAS has been designed by Nick Linford, editor of FE Week, with Smart Apprentices to bring you a professional levy calculator, which will open doors for you with levy employers to meet with them to profile their levy contributions and plan how they can utilise their investment with you. Take the initiative and develop a long term mutually beneficial partnership using FAS. 4 Everything you need ‘out of the box’ to deliver outstanding apprenticeships www.smartapprentices.com 5

competencies of your end point assessors through to standardisation and compliance for external moderation.
Apprenticeships are going through their most significant transformation for a generation. Gone is the traditional ‘on the job’
accreditation and in its place is a new rigorous end-of-apprenticeship independent assessment. NCFE is one of the few
recognised assessment organisations approved by the Education & Skills Funding Agency to deliver end-point assessment
and offers support in a variety of sectors and subject areas.
Smart Apprentices (part of Smart Assessor) have created Smart EPA, a bespoke platform exclusively designed for the new
style of end-point assessments for apprenticeships. Keen to offer their customers the best experience in the new world
of end-point assessment, NCFE scoured the market to find the best technological solution to help deliver their excellent
service and Smart EPA from Smart Apprentices provided the answer. Together the two organisations are providing a market-
leading service to achieve maximum outcomes for their customers and learners.
CEO Fiona Hudson-Kelly recalls the inspiration for Smart EPA: “I am a believer in life-long learning and
like to lead by example. At the age of 50 I embarked on my Masters degree in Business Administration
and was fascinated to research the characteristics of rapid growth companies. My research led me to
the interesting fact that companies experience rapid growth when they notice a change in their trading
environment, usually a legislative change, which creates a new product opportunity.”
“Smart Apprentices spotted this opportunity and created a new technology in record time to meet the
new legislative change to EPAs and get first to market with a purposely designed bespoke technology”.
Mike Boswell, Head of Apprenticeship Services at NCFE said: “NCFE is delighted to be working with
Smart Apprentices who share our commitment to lifelong learning and technical education. We’ll be
helping our customers navigate through the new landscape of apprenticeships and the SmartEPA
platform will ensure that our customers receive the very best end-point assessment experience.”
