SAL’s fees for End-Point Assessment are fully transparent and available in black and orange here on our website. By choosing Skills Assessment Limited, Employers will have:

  • A flexible payment structure, where 25% of the total cost is paid at registration, then the remaining 75% upon passing Gateway;

  • The ability to use withdrawn apprenticeship registration fees towards your next cohort;

As an Awarding Organisation, Skills Assessment Limited can supply qualifications applicable to your apprenticeship, offering a one-stop-shop for End-Point Assessment and mandatory qualifications.

 

Unparalleled Service
Employers and Training Providers will have their own Client Relationship Officer. They will coordinate all End-Point Assessment activities and act as the main point of contact. You will also be put in touch with one of our Business Development Managers to provide ongoing support. This personal touch will mean you will have support from someone with close knowledge of your apprenticeship programme.
