Who we work with

Colleges

Ascentis offers a large portfolio of user-friendly qualifications in a range of levels and sizes. These qualifications can be used as part of study programmes, Apprenticeships, Traineeships, and for adult learners. We can help you build the essential skills your learners require to successfully progress to further learning or employment.

We work with colleges of all sizes nationally and continually develop the qualifications we have. We work closely with our centres to offer ongoing support and resources that benefit your learners.

We are regulated by Ofqual, CCEA, Qualification Wales and licenced by the Quality Assurance Agency. Many of our qualifications are eligible for funding under the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), and Advanced Learner Loans. We are also working hard to ensure our qualifications meet the needs of National Combined Authorities in preparation for the devolution of the AEB budget.

Training Providers

Training providers often deliver courses to large volumes of learners, using a range of delivery methods to ensure the best time and cost efficiency, whilst maintaining quality provision and tangible outcomes for your learners.

We aim to be your one stop shop to achieve these goals.

We offer a range of delivery and assessment methods to suit you and your learners, from portfolio, to blended delivery, to complete online programmes.

It is imperative that training providers have the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of our learners, our economy, and government priorities, and we have designed qualifications to match this flexible approach.

Adult Education Services

Adult Education Services often have to deliver training to satisfy the needs of a broad range of learners within their locality. All our regulated qualifications are nationally recognised so you can be confident that the training your learners receive will be of quality and value. We already work with a range of Adult Education Services nationally, and always strive to find a qualification or programme to meet the needs of you and your learners.

Employers

Upskilling your staff and having a consistent programme of Continued Professional Development (CPD) is vitally important to any employer. Not only does it improve the skills and assist the internal progression of your employees, it also helps retain staff as they feel valued due to your investment in them.

We offer employers a large portfolio of qualifications, in a range of sizes, levels and sectors, to help satisfy your training needs.

These include licence to practice qualifications such as Food Safety and Health and Safety in a Construction Environment, qualifications to target ‘soft skills’ such as Resilience and Grit, and qualifications to aid your responsibilities as an employer, such as Mental Health & Wellbeing and Equality & Diversity.

We work with a range of employers varying in size and industry, and always strive to find a qualification to meet the needs of you and your team.
