The End Point Assessment (EPA) for Higher Education (HE) Assistant Technicians and Simulation-Based Education (SBE) Technicians evaluates their ability to provide skilled technical support in learning, teaching, and research environments.

The assessment focuses on their expertise in managing and maintaining equipment, developing tools and processes, supporting academic or healthcare professionals, and ensuring effective and realistic training environments.

HE Assistant Technicians specialise in setting up bespoke academic resources and experiments, while SBE Technicians focus on simulation-based learning, including programming simulators and creating realistic training scenarios. Both roles require adherence to quality, safety, and regulatory standards, contributing to high-quality educational and research outcomes.
