For colleges and training providers

From learning to application, with evidence for the next step

EAS helps connect existing study with practical AI judgement, human capability and evidence of progress. This college-focused route sits within education and lifelong learning, not as a separate one-size-fits-all curriculum.

A tutor supporting learners in a college learning space

Bring a learner group, a curriculum lead and a timetable.

Why this works for you

Support the programme

Connect activities to subjects, vocational contexts and learner goals. Retain the provider's teaching responsibilities and qualification requirements.

Give tutors usable tools

Plan delivery around agreed tutor materials, learner portfolios and review guidance. Include preparation, support and moderation time.

Make progress visible

Help learners explain a task, show what they checked and describe their contribution. Confidence and assessed capability should be considered separately.

At a glance

  • The current proof of concept reference model uses four Foundation sessions, with the gateway in the fourth, followed by five Bronze sessions
  • Dates, duration, capacity and support are confirmed for each new cohort
  • Readiness is reviewed before deeper study and relevant prior capability is recognised without bypassing evidence requirements
  • Cohort size, tutor input, materials, review, support and fees are agreed with the provider

A supported start. A meaningful next step.

Supported engagement and progression

Plan the delivery
Agree small-group support, accessible materials, pacing, attendance flexibility and safeguarding before recruitment. Visits or external briefs depend on suitability, consent and confirmed partner capacity.
Choose the pathway
Introduce shared foundations through an appropriate supported route. Foundation and Bronze may provide progression where suitable, but readiness and personal goals determine the next step.
Agree the offer
Aim for no cost to the learner within a confirmed commissioned or sponsored offer. Agree eligibility, funded places, support, fees and referrals before enrolment. No particular grant or tariff is assumed.

Illustrative model for discussion. Scope, availability and terms are agreed before commitment.

The route connects with existing study rather than sitting apart from it. EAS recognition is separate from the provider's formal qualifications and does not guarantee employment.
