Our default choice for end-point assessment is Accelerate People. However, the ESFA makes clear in their guidance, that the selection of end-point assessment organisation is up to the employer. We choose to use Accelerate People as our EPAO based on a number of reasons:

• We believe their personalised approach to assessing apprentices is more suited to our holistic delivery model
• We put learners at the centre of our programmes, and we believe Accelerate People makes the necessary reasonable adjustments to ensure the assessment process is accessible to everyone
• We believe that Accelerate People provides detailed feedback for apprentices after the assessment process, and has effective quality assurance processes to ensure consistency across examiners.

If an employer would like to use another organisation as their EPAO, we are happy to facilitate this. Start by following the link below to view the options.
