Ipet Network to offer End Point Assessments for apprenticeships

Ipet, which creates Ofqual regulated qualifications for the animal sector, has recently been approved to provide End Point Assessments for apprenticeships.

Ipet said it has already teamed up with Haddon Training and Keits Training Services to offer the assessments for apprentices in organisations such as Pets At Home, completing the apprentice standard in animal care and welfare or dog grooming.

According to the brand, it “hopes” even more employers who offer apprenticeships will choose Ipet as their End Point Assessment Organisation due to its “profile” in the grooming and animal sector.

Fern Gresty, co-director of Ipet Network, said: “This National Apprenticeship Week we are so excited to be assessing apprentices around the UK.

“Apprenticeships are a great way to get straight into working in your chosen industry, and industries benefit from having enthusiastic trainees who are working hard to gain the skills and qualifications that they need.”

Sarah Mackay, co director of the Ipet Network, added: “Adding End Point Assessments to our services demonstrates our continued commitment to the industries we support, and showing the world our industries high level of competency.”
