We are pleased to announce that NOCN has now developed the NOCN Level 3 End Point Assessment Craft Painter and Decorator v1.2 (610/6231/5) apprenticeship standard and can now start delivering End Point Assessments.

All of the documents associated with this standard are now live and can be found on the epaPRO platform for centres that have a contract on this standard.

The changes that have occurred in this version when compared to the previous include:

End-point assessment plan revised.

Changes: adjustment to practical activity with questions. Activity two removed the word 'fittings'. Activity four wording changed to read 'to the dado area of the wall'. tolerances and criteria changed for Activity 2, 4 and 5.
