Overview
As you approach the culmination of your apprenticeship, a key milestone is your official gateway meeting which involves you, your line manager, and your coach. This meeting marks your readiness to proceed to the End-Point Assessment (EPA) and signals your last day of formal learning. This article is designed to guide you through understanding and handling the gateway forms that you will receive on this pivotal day.
Understanding Your Gateway Forms
On the day of your gateway meeting, you will receive at least two forms, the exact number depending on the programme you are enrolled in and the End-Point Assessment Organisation handling your assessment. These forms are typically sent out automatically to you, your coach, and your line manager.
It is vital for all parties—yourself, your line manager, and your coach—to carefully review the gateway forms for accuracy. Any errors detected after signing must be corrected by resending and re-signing the updated forms by all parties involved.
Troubleshooting Common Form Issues
Non-receipt of Forms
If you do not receive the gateway forms on the morning of your scheduled gateway date:
Check your email’s junk or spam folder.
If still not found, contact support for reissue.
Updating Contact Details
If there is a need to change your or your line manager's email address:
Contact the support team specifying the new email address.
The necessary updates will be made, and the forms will be resent accordingly.
Editing Signed Forms
Once a form has been signed, it cannot be edited in its current state. If you need to make amendments after signing:
Contact our support team; we will reopen the form for you to edit.
