ABOUT US

Always Moving Forward

A leading Awarding Organisation for science, manufacturing, engineering and low carbon industries, we are disrupting through innovative and collaborative approaches.

Our Mission

The world is evolving rapidly, and industries demand fresh thinking and adaptable skills. Our mission is to ensure learners are equipped to thrive in this dynamic landscape – and to do it in a way that challenges conventions, fosters innovation, and creates real, measurable value for the UK and global skills sectors.

We don’t settle for good enough. Our collaborative, disruptive approach transforms the learner journey and redefines success. With a cutting-edge model that provides end-to-end support, a deeply committed team of experts, and a laser focus on delivering future-ready solutions, we’ve become the go-to partner for those who share our progressive vision of moving forward – together.

SIAS is a leading Awarding Organisation for STEM industries, inclusive of future technologies to support net-zero transition.

Ofqual approved, our innovative and quality focused approach to awarding, qualifications, accreditation and end-point assessment, is driven by our obsession for delivering real value to our customers through a disruptive and truly non-transactional, partnership-centred model.

Part of Cogent Skills group and sector specialists, we were created in 2015 by industry for industry, and we retain a deep and trusted connection with STEM employers. Our strong social mission, to support industry and the future STEM skills agenda, remains central and paramount to our vision and approach.

Our customers and learners are always at the very heart of all that we do

So delivering a best-in-class level of bespoke support and experience to our employer and provider partners ensures that learners can always achieve their full potential.

We have a high performing team which assures a superb level of technical quality and professionalism across all aspects of our service – one of the many reasons why we consistently support the very highest achievement rates and quality outcomes for learners, allowing them to achieve their true potential and catapult into meaningful careers.

We believe passionately that support should begin from the moment a learner starts on programme. We pride ourselves on delivering end-to-end solutions and value right across skills and learning journey’s, from registration right through to assessment and certification.

At SIAS we love that we are positively changing the traditional awarding blueprint and working with our stakeholders creatively to deliver maximum positive impact as the ‘go-to’ AO for STEM globally!
