The Level 2 Baker apprenticeship standard is designed to fully prepare bakery apprentices for careers in a wide range of bakery environments – from traditional family bakers to large automated bakery plants to in-store  supermarket bakeries. Bakery apprentices specialise in one option relevant to their workplace: craft, in-store or automated.

​

Level 2 Baker 
End-point Assessment ST0191

The baker end-point assessment (EPA) consists of three elements:

​

  • A knowledge test, answered through multiple choice questions

  • An assessment centre observation, taking up to 7 hours

​

The end-point assessment must be completed within twelve weeks of the EPA gateway​
