Ascentis is one of the UK’s fastest growing awarding organisations and is committed to providing its centres with first class qualifications which allow learners to realise their full potential.

All Ascentis qualifications have been developed in close consultation with practitioners, industry leaders and government to ensure that they are relevant and meet the precise requirements of learners. Most qualifications are eligible for funding from SFA (Skills Funding Agency) and YPLA (Young People’s Learning Agency).
