Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role as Senior Assessment Leader at Pearson involves training & recruitment of assessors for End-Point Assessment, engaging with training providers & employers over the End-Point Assessment process. Primarily, I am the focal point of data analysis for EPA in Pearson, where I am accountable for creating bespoke reports for the Sales team, grading & registration trends for senior management, and assessment forecasting.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, one of the units in the first trimester focused on Database Fundamentals which taught me how to use SQL. I was aware of this as have access to Pearson's data warehouse. Using the new SQL skills has helped me create bespoke data tables which can be linked with Tableau.
