ICA is an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) working with training providers and employers to deliver high quality, robust End Point Assessment across a range of apprenticeships.  We are part of the leading professional body for the regulatory and financial crime compliance community.

Our internal Quality Assurance processes and large pool of current senior industry practitioners and subject matter experts ensure our assessments are robust, relevant and reflect current industry practice. 

We ensure all apprentices are assessed in a manner that is fair and reliable with our easy to understand and transparent assessment processes. We provide extensive guidance to employers, training providers and apprentices so all participants are fully informed as to what to expect and how best to prepare for the assessment.
