Who We Are

Lead Edge Ltd is an End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) dedicated to providing fast, personal, and supportive assessment services for apprenticeships across the UK.

We were founded on a simple belief: assessment should be fair, efficient, and learner-focused. Every apprentice deserves an assessment experience that recognises their hard work and validates their skills with integrity and professionalism.

Starting with our expertise in carpentry and construction, we've built a reputation for reliability, clear communication, and genuine support. Now, we're expanding into Business and Digital & Technology apprenticeships, bringing the same commitment to excellence.
