What we do:
Accelerate People is an Ofqual approved end-point assessment (EPA) organisation. We specialise in delivering high quality and flexible EPAs for Digital Apprenticeships. We work with employers, colleges, and training providers, and are committed to providing the best possible experience to the apprentice to enable them to fulfil their potential.
Our Purpose:
- We aim to provide the best possible EPA experience for apprentices, customers, and colleagues.
- Our team are honest, transparent, and professional in everything they do.
- We expect colleagues to be collaborative and innovative to improve our products and services.
About the job:
As an
ICT Independent Assessor, you will use your expertise and experience to help shape new industry talent by conducting EPAs. You will use your experience to assess an apprentice's competence. Apprentices will submit projects and portfolios of evidence for you to review; you will use these as the basis for your interviews and questions when conducting assessments using the grading documentation provided. A key output of your role is to provide clear and constructive feedback to the training provider.
As industry and technologies move quickly, so should your development. That is why outside of the regular day-to-day assessments we allow our employees time to develop through regular Continuous Personal Development (CPD). Your expertise will also be used to help develop resources and projects for EPA across the business; this will be done by working with our product team to develop new, fair and robust assessments.
The ideal candidate:
You will need to have a passion for IT with experience within the industry. You must be personable, a strong communicator, and have a positive approach to building relationships with both learners and stakeholders. You will also have a proactive mindset and be able to roll up your sleeves and get involved in projects and products across the business. This is a great opportunity to develop your knowledge and expertise in the UK apprenticeship space.
