01

Review your provision

An expert review of your current education and training offer, including quality, compliance, gaps and opportunities to grow.

02

Extend your offer

Add new qualifications and pathways, with schemes of work, delivery plans and assessment approaches that work in practice.

03

Build an internal training team

Recruit, develop and standardise tutors, assessors and IQAs so you can deliver in-house with confidence.

04

Staff professional development

CPD and qualifications that develop your people, from teaching and assessing to quality assurance.

Funding & apprenticeships

Make the most of apprenticeships, 16–18 and 19+ adult funding, Advanced Learner Loans and alternative funding, including managing your apprenticeship service account.

06

Awarding & regulatory support

Over 20 years’ experience with Ofqual, DfE and ESFA requirements, IQA and EQA, and centre approval.

Quality assurance

IQA and EQA services

Internal quality assurance for centres that need an experienced pair of eyes: as a one-off sample, ongoing lead IQA support, or cover while you recruit.

Portfolio sampling

Planned sampling across assessors, units and learners, desk-based or on site, with clear written feedback and actions.

Lead IQA support and countersigning

Countersigning for assessors and IQAs working towards their qualifications, and lead IQA cover when you need it.

Standardisation

Standardisation meetings and activities that bring your team to one consistent judgement, with records that stand up to EQA.

Assessor and IQA development

Developing your team’s practice, from assessment planning and feedback to sampling strategy and risk rating.

EQA and inspection readiness

A dry run before the real thing: records, sampling rationale, decisions and audit trail reviewed as an EQA would.

Centre approval

Support through centre and satellite-centre approval, including policies, procedures and the evidence awarding organisations ask for.

Sectors we quality assure

Construction, sport and fitness, teaching, assessing and quality assurance up to Lead IQA, and management qualifications up to Level 7. Lead IQA and EQA qualified, with over 20 years in regulated qualifications.
