The University of Greenwich is responsible for the quality assurance and validity of the Vocational English Certificates.

The University of Greenwich is a modern, forward-thinking university with strong links to business, hence its emphasis on a work experience element in many of its programs. It has three campuses, with the main one being a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the South bank of the River Thames in Greenwich, South-East London.

The university offers a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including accounting and finance, chemistry, agriculture, computing, engineering, pharmacy, sociology and more. The University of Greenwich has a thriving international community, with students from 176 countries. English language tuition and academic support is provided to all international students whose first language is not English through the Centre for Applied Research and Outreach in Language Education (CAROLE). The mission of CAROLE is to study and develop knowledge of second language acquisition and to advance the quality of second language teaching and language learning.

EPiQ Assessment is the independent organisation producing and administering the Vocational English Examinations and Assessment worldwide.
