Overview
Accelerate People is a UK End-Point Assessment Organisation that provides impartial final assessments for apprentices across sectors such as digital, IT, leadership, and HR. It uses in-house platforms—AP: Gateway for learner registration, AP: Comply for administrative and compliance workflows, and AP: Assess for the actual assessments—to manage the entire assessment process, with automation and AI that shorten admin tasks and enable 24-hour grade releases. It differentiates itself through a founder-led focus on reducing administrative friction, Ofqual approval in 2022, and partnerships with major providers, making it the largest EPAO for digital skills. Its goal is to speed up certification and support workforce development, aiming to deliver over 10,000 EPAs by 2025.
