Not for profit organisation

Part of the FTC group, we pride ourselves in being a not-for-profit organisation which enables us to focus on doing the right thing and not just driving the bottom line. We’ve been developing accredited qualifications throughout the UK for almost 20 years. However, our roots trace back to 1946, with the establishment of the Institute of Meat (IoM). The IoM remains a sister organisation and a valuable source of meat industry expertise to this day.

No hidden or upfront fees

Our priority is to ensure there are no surprises before, on or after the big day, for you or your apprentices. After booking an EPA with us, you can expect a pre-EPA visit free of charge.
