4. What this means for the Centre
 Centres can differentiate themselves from their competitors
and offer students a greater learning experience
 Centres can tailor the qualification delivery and assessment
to meet the needs of local students and employers
enhancing the attractiveness of the courses
 ABP’s approach enables centres to start cohorts of learners
without having to wait for an examination period to end.
Marketing costs are spread throughout the year enabling
courses to start as soon as there are enough learners to
begin the next course.

5. What this means for the Student
 The ABP approach offers students a fantastic learning
experience where they can build a portfolio of work
 Learners potentially have a greater variety of ways to
demonstrate their knowledge and skills to employers and
universities through a variety of assessments
 Learners can enrol on courses tailored to the needs of their
job market
 ABP’s approach means that students will not have to wait for
up to six months hanging on for the next opportunity to re-
take an external assessment

6. How this is achieved
ABP programmes are assessed internally in
their entirety, giving the centre complete
freedom in terms of how and when to teach
and assess learners.
ABP will externally quality assure these
assessments to ensure credibility and
consistency.
