Our experienced team of assessors each have over 20 years of experience in education and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). All hold AMBDA status and a current APC from the British Dyslexia Association, ensuring assessments are carried out to the highest professional standards.
Our assessments are recognised for exam access arrangements and can also support applications for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) in further and higher education.
We work with learners in primary and secondary schools, college and university students, as well as adults seeking to better understand their learning profile. Our aim is simple – to provide clear answers, practical recommendations, and supportive guidance that helps every individual move forward with confidence.
