EP-1623 | EPA Manager Search | Fix to the EPA Manager Search to make the search results show | |
EP-1619 | Mandatory file upload/E-Portfolio link is being bypassed during Gateway submission | Fixed a bug during gateway submission where a specific gateway specification set up could allow a bypass of the mandatory file upload. | |

EP-1546 | Rewrite - Planning Meeting | The planning meeting screen has been rewritten into the new framework. | |
EP-1495 | EPA - Extend information on availability | The EPA profile has been expanded to allow EPAs to add dates on which they are not available for whatever reason. This information is pulled into the assessment plan when booking elements and you need to select an EPA to carry out the assessment. No process changes have been made and the selection of an EPA during the booking process is the same; more information is simply available regarding the EPA. | |
EP-1186 | EPA Calendar Export | The EPA profile has been expanded to allow an EPA to generate a token URL of their EPAPro calendar. This URL can be used in many external calendar applications (i.e. Outlook) to subscribe to the EPAs specific calendar in EPAPro where they will receive updates on meetings and assessments planned within EPAPro. Please note that this is a read-only subscription and no data is passed back into EPAPro. Furthermore if a token is regenerated for a particular EPA then the previous one is invalidated and this will break existing subscriptions; the new token URL will need to be readded/resubscribed to. | |
EP-1183 | Rewrite - Chrome | This work replaces the surrounding areas of the layout of EPAPro such as header, footer, and menu. Furthermore these areas have been redesigned and reworked with the user experience in mind. From a technical perspective this work removes a lot of older code and moves the application fully onto the new framework. In addition to the above we have added additional layers of security to multiple areas of the application. This includes Gateway, Assessment Progress, QA, and Certification to help ensure that users only have access to the areas and apprentices that they should. We've also implemented an allow list for file uploads as an additional security mesaure so that only accepted file types can be uploaded into EPAPro. | |
EP-1152 | ESFA - Screen for submitting apprentices to ESFA for Certificates | This replaces the previous ESFA screen that was used in conjunction with the, now defunct, spreadsheet. The screen shows apprentices that have completed EPA and are ready to be submitted to the ESFA so that certificates can be sent out to them. Users are given the opportunity to amend the address to where the certificate should be sent prior to submission. TO TEST THE API IN YOUR UAT ENVIRONMENT YOU WILL NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING; You DO NOT require an API key for UAT Firstly set up your Standards as mentioned above; Against the standard there is a new field called "External Standard Code". This is the unique numerical reference that the ESFA uses to reference the standard (sometimes referred to as a LARS code) i.e. Commis chef under Catering and Hospitality is 93. You will then need to edit the ULN and Family name on apprentices you wish to submit in the UAT environment; As there is no specific sandbox environment for the ESFA portal, you must send test data. This is done by changing the Apprentice family name and ULN to a test ULN. You can send 10 apprentices per standard. TEST uln numbers must be 10 digits and made up as follows;
1-EPAOID-LARSID-00to09 Example. For EPA0001, Standard Code = ST0237, and 1st uln in the sequence
The next test ULN would be 1000123702, then 100123703 etc. Your EPAO registration number can be found on the Register of End Point Assessment Organisations if you do not know it Once you can construct your ULNs go to Manage Apprentice, select the relevant standard and a status of certified, then edit one or multiple apprentice records and for each change the ULN and the Family name to one of your test ULNs. This will allow you to submit the apprentice and get back a Certificate reference. Reporting > Assessment > Certification Overview This report shows if an apprentice has been processed and sent to ESFA | |
EP-1151 | ESFA - API | Backend work to communicate with the ESFA API. |
