Register a learner with epaPRO

Overview

For a learner enrolled onto a 'Training - Apprenticeship'  delivery programme, an End Point Assessment tab will be displayed on their Learner Profile.

After an epaPRO Integration has been set up for your tenant, and an epaPRO connection has been created, Aptem runs an automated process to register learners with epaPRO. In some cases, where the automated process does not register the learner, a tutor can manually register them with epaPRO.

Once a learner has been registered, updates made to the learner details in Aptem will also by synced to the learner's epaPRO records. For details, see: Updation of learner details with EPAPro.

However, if you update Learner details in epaPRO(e.g. Learner email), these will NOT be synced back into Aptem.
