SFJ Awards has been shortlisted in the Specialist Sector EPAO of the Year category at the inaugural EPA Awards.
Organised by the Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB), the EPA Awards celebrates the achievements of End-Point Assessment Organisations in the past year.
Reacting to the news of SFJ Awards being shortlisted, Kit Salt, Head of End Point Assessment at SFJ Awards, said:
“We are delighted to be in the running for the Specialist Sector EPAO of the Year award amidst stiff competition.
“As an organisation, we are committed to the highest standards in the sectors that we serve and as such we are over the moon to have been recognised publicly in this way.”
FAB Chief Executive, Tom Bewick, said:
“We’re delighted that for these inaugural awards we have received so many entries dedicated to celebrating the achievements of end point assessment organisations. All the entries are of a really high standard and demonstrate the commitment of our EPAO members to high-quality assessment practices being available to apprentices, employers and the wider FE sector.
“The awards also marks the crucial point when the majority of EPAOs in the marketplace are now being properly regulated by one of the statutory bodies, like Ofqual. We’re moving to a new system where only the very best organisations will be able to continue to offer end-point assessment services in future. Our annual conference for EPAOs and these awards is key, therefore, in helping to develop this evolving regulated community; and ensuring we build a high-trust culture of continuous improvement and success.”
I am also immensely proud of how our members have risen to the challenges brought about by the pandemic. We look forward to celebrating their success as an industry on 19 May.”
