Introducing FDQ Dynamic & FDQ Direct
As apprenticeship assessment evolves, FDQ has developed two new assessment pathways that give employers and training providers greater flexibility while maintaining the trusted quality and confidence you expect from us.
One standard. Two pathways. Your choice.
FDQ Dynamic
Provider-Led Assessment
FDQ Dynamic is our provider-led assessment pathway, designed to integrate assessment throughout the apprenticeship programme. Training providers lead much of the assessment while working alongside FDQ, creating a collaborative approach that supports apprentices throughout their learning journey.
FDQ Direct
Awarding Organisation-Led Assessment
FDQ Direct is designed for organisations that prefer a familiar, awarding organisation-led approach to apprenticeship assessment. Closely aligned to the current End-Point Assessment model, it offers a straightforward transition while maintaining the trusted quality and consistency you expect from FDQ.
Watch our short video to discover why we've developed FDQ Dynamic and FDQ Direct, how each pathway works, and what the changes to apprenticeship assessment mean for your organisation.
