Question: What happens to apprentice's end-point assessment if they have been furlonged?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for apprentices, employers, training providers, end-point assessment organisations (EPAOs) and external quality assurance providers about changes to apprenticeships due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Apprenticeship assessment frequently asked questions
What will happen if an apprentice’s line manager has been furloughed and their employer is unable to confirm their readiness to take EPA with their training provider and EPAO?
section_content: If the person who would normally sign an apprentice off as ready to take their
EPA has been furloughed, and there is no suitable alternative, we support
providers to make the gateway decision. This temporary arrangement can only be
relied upon where the provider can provide evidence to the EPAO that the
apprentice has met the relevant gateway requirements and is ready to sit their
EPA. Where this is not the case then the EPA should be rescheduled.
Apprentices whose gateway is delayed can have an extension to the assessment
timeframe.
*[EPA]: end-point assessment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on EPA of an apprentice that has been furloughed and this answer is providing information on what should be done if a person who usually sign an apprentice off for EPA has been furloughed.
This is another good response that speaks about how a gateway decision can be made in the situation where the apprentice has been furloughed. This does a good job answering the question

Where the EPA plan states that assessment must be conducted face-to-face, but cannot be under the current circumstances, can we conduct these remotely?
section_content: Where an assessment method requires face to face engagement, this can be
conducted remotely, subject to the following conditions:

arrangements are cleared in advance by the EQA provider
the apprentice’s identity is verified

remote tests are supervised by an appropriately trained invigilator or assessor who:

has the necessary qualifications, training or experience
and who has not been involved in the training, preparation or line management of the apprentice
appropriate technology and systems are in place
the impact that remote assessment may have on apprentices is to be taken into consideration to ensure a fair and reliable assessment of occupational competence
here alternatives are not appropriate, a pause and rescheduling might be the only action. An extension of 12 weeks is allowable for those EPA plans where a time limit is specified from gateway to EPA. It is to be logged on and shared with EQA providers on a timely basis



[EQA]: external quality assurance
  [EPA]: end-point assessment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This information is about conducting remote test and does not contain any information on EPA of apprentice that has been furloughed.
This is a great response that addresses how end point assessments should be approached during the outbreak. There are a list of bullet points for remote tests which is helpful

I have been furloughed, can I still take my end-point assessment?
section_content: Yes, where apprentices are furloughed, they can sit their EPA providing that
they meet the conditions for furloughed apprentices.
*[EPA]: end-point assessment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This is a direct answer to the question, it provides information on whether or not an apprentice can sit for their EPA when they have been furloughed.
This response is at least on the subject of apprentices but doesn't say anything about their end point assessment or what to do in those situations so it should have that information
