Level 3 Advanced Butcher End-point Assessment
The Advanced Butcher apprenticeship is designed to prepare butchers to take responsibility. Advanced butchery apprentices may find themselves taking responsibility for a production line in a large meat processing plant, running an independent butchers shop or managing a supermarket meat counter.
​
As well as high level butchery skills the Advanced Butcher apprenticeship also develops the managerial and technical skills needed to contribute to profitability, and the safe, efficient operation of the business.
The Advanced butchery end-point assessment (EPA) consists of three elements:
​
-
A knowledge test, consisting of multiple-choice questions and short answer questions
-
A workplace observation, lasting 2 hours minimum
-
An interview, lasting 40 minutes and underpinned by a portfolio
​
Advanced Butchery end-point assessment tests should be completed in this order and within twelve weeks of the EPA gateway. Usually the EPA is completed on the same day.
​
The standard charge for EPA is 15-20% of the IfATE maximum funding rate, to view FDQ's Fee's Policy click here
