ASSESSMENT INNOVATION FUND
Get funding to bring your assessment design ideas to life
We’re dedicated to promoting and advancing learning – it’s our core purpose.
This purpose drives our commitment to deliver world-class educational services that enable learners to achieve their potential. We also believe that great innovation needs great collaborators. That’s why we launched our Assessment Innovation Fund.
To date, more than 3,000 learners and over 200 educators have participated in 12 funded projects where these findings are helping to support innovators, showcase new digital approaches to assessment and champion the need for change in assessment practices.
About window 7
Supported by NCFE and Ufi VocTech Trust, the current round of the Assessment Innovation Fund focuses on assessment within vocational education. The jointly supported fund will encourage the testing of learner-centric and adaptable assessment solutions, harnessing digital technology to create a more inclusive, robust, fairer, and reliable assessment experience.
We want to support testing assessment solutions that can adapt and respond to the needs of the changing UK economy and help get more adults learning.
Window 7 closed on March 31

Assessment Innovation Fund Social Impact Report 2021-2023
Following the completion of five Assessment Innovation Fund (AIF) windows that committed the original £1m investment to 12 projects, we find ourselves at a point of reflection: What impact have our pilots to date had?
Our Social Impact Report aims to answer these questions, highlighting the AIF’s impact and opening up dialogue of what fair, open and authentic assessment might look like across the education sector.
