As part of our approach to continuously improve our policies and centre guidance, we have recently reviewed and updated our Instructions for Conducting Examinations within EAL qualifications.

In response to feedback from centres, we have included more detail on the invigilation requirements for examinations. The instructions provide details of how you, as a recognised EAL centre, should manage, conduct and monitor examinations within EAL qualifications and actions that should be taken by individuals involved in the examination process.

In response to customer feedback, regulatory changes and our commitment to continuous improvement, we have been reviewing our policies and procedures over recent months.

We are pleased to announce that our updated policies will be launched later this month and are available in the Smarter Touch document library.

If you have any queries please contact our Customer Experience team or call 01923 652400.

At EAL we know the high quality support provided by our full-time employed EQA team is something that you value and, with this in mind, we are currently expanding the team to meet the growing demand for our services and areas of specialism.

If you provide training services to the automotive sector, including vehicle producers, suppliers, sales and aftermarket services, you could become a vital stakeholder in a major new European skills project.

Our new Engineering Talent platform will provide an innovative and unique way to recruit learners and deliver training online. Designed as an interactive digital learning environment, centre and employers will be able to engage and enrich their learners with resources relevant to their apprenticeship. The platform will also measure and support the 20% off-the-job training requirement for the apprenticeship standards.
