COMPANY OVERVIEW

UCAN

UCAN™ has been approved by the Government on all successive iterations of its regulatory framework now known as the Apprenticeship Provider and Assessment Register (APAR) since its inception in 2017. UCAN delivers apprenticeships across England under procurement/call-off frameworks with local authorities along with all sizes of private sector businesses and charities. We are unique because;

  • We have developed our own software platform which fully integrates every aspect of apprenticeship delivery and management greatly enhancing the experience for employers and apprentices.
  • We author our own teaching resources specifically to target the knowledge skills and behaviours the apprenticeship requires.
  • We tailor programme content specifically to the needs of the employer and the setting in which the apprentices work.
  • We are one the highest performing training providers registered on APAR and have been rated as Good in successive Ofsted inspections including March 2024

We are recognised for our innovation in programme design.

Our mission, in partnership with UCAN, is to become the GO-TO apprenticeship full service solution for all UK schools and Multi Academy Trusts (MATs/MACs). Unlike other training providers operating across multiple sectors, A4E works exclusively with schools. Our organisation’s DNA is uniquely education. With our training provider partner UCAN we provide best in class curriculums, delivery capability and full customer journey experience for the education sector. Participating schools become stakeholders in the company, taking an active part in shaping programmes, delivery, and future learning innovation.
