A BRIT (the British Repair Industry Trailblazer group) working group has successfully formulated a revised end point assessment (EPA) for the Accident Repair Technician Standard. The EPA has now been submitted to key stakeholders within the education sector for consideration.
The pre-existing EPA relating to the Accident Repair Technician Standard was not able to be delivered due to both its complexity and time constraints.
BRIT took this task on as a priority and thanks to the incredible efforts of key employers, has achieved the first aim of the group.
When the EPA is approved by the education stakeholders, the current cohort of students will hopefully have access to it in Q1 of 2021.
BRIT chair and managing director of NCR Bodyshops, Christine Maskill said, “This is fantastic work from an amazing, motivated team who have collaborated for the good of our industry’s future.”
If any industry stakeholder would like to find out more about BRIT and its work, please contact Jennifer Evans at AutoRaise, which is funding the groups administration and support function.
