Innovate Awarding worked with the team at Skilltech on the design and development of epaPRO since its creation. We have received lots of positive praise from our clients on the ease of use to successfully prepare, monitor and track apprentices through End-Point Assessments. The system has ensured that we can administer our processes in the most streamlined way.

SQA has been working with Skilltech since August 2018, using their epaPRO technology to support delivery of our End-Point Assessment service. During this time, we have found Skilltech to be a very responsive partner, actively engaged in understanding our business needs and translating these into an effective technology solution.

When we had to design and run completely revamped final assessments for healthcare science trainees because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Skilltech helped us massively. They swiftly spun up an instance of epaPRO for us, worked rapidly on some developments on the platform to support some of our specific needs and provided expert guidance and support about how to use and adapt epaPRO so that we could run a revised assessment regime at scale and pace.

Accolade is an awarding and qualification management platform built for awarding organisations, chartered institutes, professional bodies and further education institutes (but not only). It is a single end-to-end software application that empowers organisations to register learners, manage their journeys, provide support, keep track of progress, communicate with stakeholders such as assessment centres and assessors, and deliver certification.

Skilltech Solutions, a member of the Lifetime training group, is a provider of leading end-point assessment and qualification management software. We specialise in delivering innovative, easy-to-use software that streamlines the digital management of learner journeys in apprenticeships and further education.

Skilltech Solutions places a strong emphasis on data security. Our software, including epaPRO and Accolade, employs advanced security protocols and encryption to safeguard data during storage and transmission. Regular security audits and updates are conducted to protect against unauthorised access and data breaches. 

Skilltech Solutions offer comprehensive onboarding, training sessions, and continuous support to all new users. Our dedicated support team is always available to assist with any queries or issues, and users have access to a complete knowledge base, which ensures that you find support in the way that suits you, and utilise the software to its fullest potential.

Yes, it will be!

For end-point assessment organisations and training providers that already use epaPRO, Accolade will integrate seamlessly into your digital learner management ecosystem. For example, information about mandatory qualification modules that are part of apprenticeships will be managed in Accolade, and data will be automatically pulled into your epaPRO dashboard, ensuring complete visibility of data from different sources. You will also be able to log in to epaPRO and Accolade from the same Global Log-in hub.

Accolade is a central hub accessible to both awarding organisations, centres, assessors and their partners. If you are an organisation that wishes to deliver qualifications via a network of approved centres, you can use Accolade as a central project management hub to automatically track the progress of this workflow, including CPD, staffing, resource management, credit and financial checks. This provides you with a full audit trail, and a simplified means of welcoming new centres under your organisation’s umbrella.

Accolade’s qualification builder is a revolutionary, user-friendly qualification design tool that lets you build qualifications from the ground up. The course builder is a tool that will let you create qualifications and the units within them, prerequisites for completion (credits), rules of combination, QA, risk elements and learning outcomes.
