The Military Independent Assessment Authority is the End Point Assessment (EPA) Organisation for several Apprenticeship Standards across the RN. Recent Government legislation has resulted in the movement of Framework apprenticeships to Standards. This necessitates the creation of End Point Assessments for the Apprenticeships delivered by the RN. The primary role of the MIAA is to act separately from other training aspects to offer unbiased grading assurance on EPAs and to apply for the apprenticeship certification on the Standards it is registered for. The MIAA is externally assured by Ofqual.
