About us

As a former EPAO, approved by the ESFA to deliver assessments for over 20 standards, we know how hard it is to operate in this industry.  We have experience in production of assessment materials, end-point assessment and ensuring your training is aligned perfectly to the EPA. 

We have seen first-hand the impact regulatory changes are having on the industry, and we want to work with you to ensure the best outcomes for Learners and Apprentices using innovative methods and streamlining processes. It is our ambition to help all employers, training providers and EPAOs to work together. 

Why ORCA? ORCAs are known not only for their size and resources but for their ability to work together. Our network of assessors, EPAOs, training providers and employers means we can collaborate throughout the industry, to get you, your learners or your programmes ready for anything.
