We are currently experiencing an unprecedented situation in the UK and we appreciate that for our customers these will be challenging times where information and support is important to you.

EAL triumphed in style at the recent Federation of Awarding Bodies 5th annual awards, taking home two accolades at the prestigious ceremony. Over 230 awarding and assessment specialists gathered at the event to celebrate the best of the British qualifications and assessments industry.

In response to customer feedback, regulatory requirements and our commitment to continuous improvement, we have been reviewing our conflict of interest policy.

The application for Reasonable Adjustments/Special Considerations has been reviewed and updated and is now available for completion via our Smarter Touch system.

You can now indicate which of the requirements are needed to enable the learner to have the best possible support when undertaking EAL examinations, by ticking the relevant box.

Our parent company Enginuity is a partner of Project DRIVES, the aim of the project is to design and deliver human capital solutions through the establishment of an Automotive Sector Skills Alliance, covering all levels of the value chain (vehicle production, suppliers, sales and aftermarket services).

To do this, we need your insight and expertise within the sector and would like to invite you to contribute your views via a short online survey.

The survey will inform DRIVES to develop concrete actions such as mapping and developing training, to satisfy short and medium-term skills needs to support the overall sectoral strategy and deliver policy recommendations for the automotive sector.
