What we’re all about
New name and new look, but the values we were built on remain the same. Great service, rigorous quality, and a determination to shape the future of vocational qualifications.
Here’s our Managing Director, Andrew Walker, to talk you through the changes.
Recognised qualifications that support achievement, progression and success.
Supporting apprentices, providers and employers with trusted assessment expertise.
Building essential English and maths skills for lifelong success.
Be number one in technical education
That’s our Big Hairy Audacious Goal and we strive towards it because this industry, the training providers who are part of it, and the learners who rely on it deserve the best.
The best qualifications, created by forward-thinkers focused on the next big innovation and must-have skills. The best Apprenticeship Assessment services, run by passionate practitioners driven to give apprentices the right conditions to realise their potential. The best customer service, led by empathetic and understanding people who don’t just solve customer problems but proactively guide their approach to the challenges this industry poses.
We’re proud to partner with our incredible centres and love supporting the work they do to help learners achieve their personal and professional goals, but there’s still plenty of room for growth. So when we say we're all about being number one, it's not a boast but a challenge – one we work tirelessly to meet day in, day out.
