Get started with EPA Pro

EPA Pro benefits providers, employers, and apprentices by enabling you to share information, track progress, view planned activity and access support materials. Customers approved to deliver the on-programme standards or the EPA-only service will be given access to EPA Pro.

The primary provider user will have full access to EPA Pro with the added permission to create EPA Pro accounts for centre staff users, apprentices, and employers.

For new customers, the primary provider user will be sent an email from City & Guilds with information on how to log into EPA Pro.

Centre staff users will also have access to all EPA Pro features except for the option to create additional user accounts.

You can help your apprentices keep track of their performance and upcoming assessments by giving them access to EPA Pro. They will have access to a simplified version of the platform which enables them to see:

Their individual calendar of EPA activity and events
Their individual notifications
Support materials tailored to their standard
A personal profile area to review their progress throughout their EPA

Apprentices can be given access to EPA Pro by their provider at registration.

Providers are able to give employers access to EPA Pro to help them track progress. This can support apprenticeship delivery by giving employers an overview of how their apprentice is progressing and to manage key milestones.

Employers will have access to a simplified version of the platform, which is managed at the discretion of the provider.
