Our internal quality assurance processes and large pool of senior industry practitioners ensure every assessment is robust, relevant, and reflects current industry practice. We assess every apprentice fairly and consistently with transparent, easy-to-understand processes that keep employers, training providers, and apprentices fully informed at every stage. Everyone knows what to expect and how to prepare.
Credit Services Association (CSA) really value the ICA as an EPAO for many of our apprenticeships. The ICA’s work is of a consistently high quality, and service delivery is always reliable and responsive to the needs of key stakeholders.

We ensure that we offer fair and competitive fees to our customers.
We take into account the level of assessment and the number of individual parts that make up the Apprenticeship Assessment when calculating the fee.
We can offer discounts to our standard fees based on the volume of apprentices.
We invoice for 10% of the fee at the point of registration, with the remainder invoiced after the Apprenticeship Assessment has been completed.
Resit fees are charged at a reduced rate and applied only to the individual element(s) that were failed.
If you can't find the standard you're looking for but would like to work with us, please get in touch, and we can arrange a time to discuss your requirements. We are adding new standards to the services we provide all of the time, and we are happy to support any requests to provide new Apprenticeship Assessment services.
