ESB is delighted to share its research and discuss the impact of an ESB employability-focused, externally assessed oracy qualification on learners at the first ever VTQ Research and Reflective Practice Forum in Birmingham.

The Forum, organised by Ofqual and the Federation of Awarding Bodies, aims to bring together and showcase the efforts made by Awarding Organisations (AOs) and End-Point Assessment Organisations (EPAOs) to enhance assessment practices and knowledge.

In November 2023, ESB was named the Awarding Organisation of the Year by the Federation of Awarding Bodies for promoting the power of human connection, self-advocacy, communication, and confidence building.
