By industry, for industry

EFI Awards enables industry to invest in its own future by choosing an End Point Assessment Organisation dedicated to inspiring and developing the next generation of talent.

The idea is simple: recent reforms mean that all apprenticeships require end-point assessment, with most paid for through the apprenticeship levy. Presently, a range of organisations provide end-point assessment services meaning money leaves the sector. By choosing EFI Awards, you will re-direct this funding to develop the next generation of talent while helping to build critical skills infrastructure for the long term benefit of your industry.

We have been created by, and are governed by, leading industry practitioners who co-develop our service and approach.
