There is no cost to the college/training provider for using ACE360 if they choose Pearson as the End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO).
The ACE360 business model and invoicing system are based on the requirement to purchase 'tokens' to register apprentices on the ACE360 system.
- The current token price in ACE360 is £7.50+VAT (effective from 1st October 2022)*
- Pearson will give you a £9 rebate on your EPA price per apprentice to cover the cost of using ACE360
*Please Note: The token price from ACE360 will increase to £8.33+VAT effective from 1st October 2025
Full costs of each apprenticeship EPA can be found on the website page linked below:
