Through its long-term partnership with industry and focus on engineering and manufacturing, building services and related industry sectors, EAL has built unrivalled knowledge and understanding of employer skills needs. This results in qualifications that carry weight and respect with employers and deliver real career benefits for learners.

Through our dedicated External Verification Service we work hand in hand with our recognised Centres to support the highest standards in qualifications delivery. For employers, this approach delivers a high value-added service and assurance that their learners achieve the standards required by their industry, whilst our recognised Centres can rely on their EAL External Verifier as a trusted partner for expert support and guidance.

In the last five years, 500,000 people have embarked on an EAL qualification in schools, colleges, universities, private training facilities and workplaces the length and breadth of the UK. Our industry expertise, coupled with our unrivalled service levels, means that employers – from blue chip, household names to small and micro companies – opt to use EAL qualifications to develop their employees.

As well as being the leading provider of qualifications for our core sectors in the UK, we also work internationally with employers and providers who recognise the value of high quality, relevant training programmes.
