This policy sets out that all apprentices will receive full and fair consideration during their assessments.
If an apprentice or their employer wishes to appeal, they should complete an EPA appeal application form and email it to epa@theiet.org. In all cases, an appeal must be raised within one month of the apprentice being notified of the outcome of the EPA.
Once we receive the appeals application form, the EPA team will log the details on the appeals register and will acknowledge the appeal (within 5 working days).
A fee of £800 is payable for each appeal and is refundable if the appeal is upheld (the grounds are found to be valid and likely to have had an impact on the apprentice’s ability to present their case). The Apprentice will be re-assessed, as if for the first time, and the appeal fee will be refunded.
Please note: the fee must be paid before the process can begin.
