Our processes are clear and supportive, our assessors are professionally qualified and occupationally competent, and our systems are built for scale, reliability, and flexibility.Whether you’re an employer managing a national apprenticeship programme, a provider supporting diverse cohorts, or an apprentice preparing for a high-stakes final assessment, Recognition Education ensures your experience is structured, transparent, and professionally rewarding.

Our Multi-Sector Expertise

We currently deliver EPA for apprenticeships in areas such as:

• Regulatory Services and Compliance (Level 2–7)
• Financial Services and Pensions (Levels 3-6)
• Business, Leadership and Management (Levels 2-6)

Our assessors have real-world experience in their sectors, from case managers and analysts to senior leaders and consultants. This ensures that apprentices are assessed by professionals who understand the standards, the pressures of the role, and what competence looks like in context.

Our EPA Model

All of our assessment methods are drawn directly from approved EPA plans and mapped to the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) for each apprenticeship. Typical methods include:

• Project with Report and Presentation
• Professional Discussion (underpinned by a Portfolio)
• Knowledge Test (where specified)
• Observation and Questioning (for relevant standards)

Our assessments are designed to be robust but accessible—using structured scoring, standardised templates, and a supportive but independent approach.
