AlphaPlus
Turning education and skills policy into practice
About AlphaPlus
AlphaPlus is an education consultancy that specialises in the design, development and deployment of qualifications and their underpinning assessment, and in the evaluation of their performance and impact.
We help ensure the proper working of qualifications and assessments and assemble the evidence to demonstrate this. This evidence includes analytical work, often on large datasets; field work with centres, teachers and students; reporting and evidence-led action planning. It often also includes training and capacity development with stakeholders, and support for strategic development.

AlphaPlus - our values
Educationalists
We are educationalists with a strong commitment to improving teaching, learning and assessment, based on intellectual integrity, sound evidence and innovative approaches.
Dependable and loyal
We are committed to being a dependable, accountable, honest and loyal partner for our clients.
Client-focused
We are committed to enabling our clients to perform well by being reasonable, flexible and responsive, and by helping them to deliver consistent value.
Supporting colleagues
We are diligent, resilient and committed to building a successful education consultancy for our shareholders, directors and staff.
Development
We are committed to the improvement of our staff, both to promote the long-term development of our business and as an end in itself: we believe in the value of education for all.
Expertise
We ensure our teams consist of genuine sector experts with understanding in breadth and depth of both the theory and the practical complex everyday challenges faced by education providers.
Quality
We manage projects effectively and to the highest quality, freeing up the experts to concentrate on their specialism, but ensuring that activities are managed to meet expectations. This means only making promises that we know we can keep, and remembering the promises we have made to make sure we deliver.
Partnership
We work in partnership with our clients. This is more than a cliché for us: we care about the services we provide and the impact they have on learners. Experience has shown us that the best impact our work can have is when it is undertaken alongside our clients so we make partnership a key feature of our project approach and management method.
