Once the learner is admitted with the centre, each learner’s information must be entered in Edupro Centre Management Portal information system within due time. This enables us to monitor the learners progress throughout the qualification.
Centre will take all reasonable steps to ensure that –
(a) each Learner enrolling to an Edupro qualification is registered in a way that permits the Learner to be clearly and uniquely identified, and

Edupro allows a 3-stage appeals procedure. The first stage must be completed before progression to the next stage.
The three stages are referred to as:
- a) Stage 1 – Appeal at Centre. This is the first stage of the appeal process and will allow for Edupro Centres to conduct its own review of the appellant’s case. The Centre employees and/or learners must keep all evidence until a final judgement is made.
At Stage 1 of the appeal procedure, the centre will need to ensure that the decision maker is an appropriate and competent individual who was not involved in the making of the original decision. The Centre Liaison Officer on behalf of the centre needs to ensure that there is no conflict of interest with the appellant and decision maker. External Quality Assurer (EQA) will verify the relevant documents in the EQA visit.
The Centre will need to store the relevant document for the following External Quality Assurance (EQA) or any monitoring visit as well.
- b) Stage 2 – Appeal to Edupro. If the appellant is not satisfied with the outcome of stage-1, then he/she can make an appeal to Edupro by writing an email to service@epqual.com. This stage of the appeal process and will allow for Edupro to conduct its own review of the appellant’s case. Edupro will keep evidence in accordance with its record-keeping and data-protection policies.
At Stage 2 of the appeal procedure, Edupro will ensure that the decision maker is an appropriate and competent individual who was not involved in the making of the original decision at Stage 1 and there is no conflict of interest in any stage of the application.
Learners making direct appeals to Edupro must give evidence that they have completed the Stage 1 Centre appeals process. It is expected that learners will only approach us directly in exceptional circumstances. The appellant will need to submit all documents including the Appeal Form. We may interview further the appellant and other stakeholders in the process. We will produce a report with the investigation outcome from Edupro and decisions will be communicated to relevant stakeholders.
- c) Stage 3 – Independent Review. This stage provides for an independent review of the appellant's case. If the appellant is dissatisfied with the outcome of the Stage-2 appeal, he or she may proceed to Stage-3 by sending an email to quality@epqual.com.
At Stage 3 of the appeal procedure, the appeal will be heard by at least two individuals. The first will be a member of the Risk & Compliance Management Committee, who was not involved in the making of the original decision or in Stage 2 of the appeal procedure. The second individual will be an independent reviewer who is not an employee or Assessor of Edupro, or otherwise connected to it, outside of their role in reviewing the appeal.
At all stages of the appeal procedure, Edupro will carefully select its appeal reviewers to ensure that no decision regarding an appeal is made by an individual who has a personal interest in its outcome. This will be ensured and monitored through the Edupro Conflict of Interest Policy.
Please contact your LEC for the copy and details of ‘Edupro Appeals Policy and Procedures’.

The Centre will need to store the relevant document for the following External Quality Assurance (EQA) visit.
- b) Stage 2 – Escalate complain to Edupro. If the complainant is dissatisfied with the response from the centre at stage one, or refuses to interact with the centre, or if the issue is complicated, serious, or 'high-risk,' the complaint should be escalated to Edupro. This stage of the process and will allow for Edupro to conduct its own review of the appellant’s case.
The complainant must complete and submit the Edupro Complain Submission Form (available to the approved centres) within 15 working days of the incident or the response being issued by the Centre at Stage 1. At Stage 2 of the complaint handling procedure, Edupro will ensure that the decision maker is an appropriate and competent individual who was not involved in the making of the original decision at Stage 1.
- C) Stage 3 – Independent Review. An independent review may be sought if the complainant is not satisfied with the stage two answer. This stage allows for there to be an independent assessment of the appellant’s case.
