On-Program Learning (OPL) Key Features
The On-Program Learning (OPL) process tracks apprentices through their learning. OPL brings together many elements including work experience, classroom learning, and various types of evaluations. Within SkilSure apprentices automatically accumulate a body of work demonstrating their learning and competence. Examples of this work are used to create a summative portfolio which they can export and submit at Gateway.

End Point Assessments (EPA) Key Features
One thing all End Point Assessments (EPAs) have in common is that they’re reviewed by an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO). The EPAO is a separate organisation from the apprentice’s Training Provider. To be compliant SkilSure has a firewall between OPL and EPA. The apprentice indicates at Gateway their readiness for review, that readiness is assessed by the EPAO at Gateway and the EPA begins.
