TIRO and SIAS are proud to announce the establishment of a dynamic new collaboration aimed at delivering excellence for science and technology apprenticeships. This partnership marks a significant milestone in both organisations’ pursuit of ambitious growth and greater impact and underscores their shared commitment to fostering high quality apprenticeship delivery and assessment experiences.
 
The partnership sees SIAS, the leading provider of STEM focused end-point assessment services, teaming up with TIRO, the leading Provider nationally for science apprenticeship standards, working together to support apprentices and employers across several apprenticeship standards, including Level 3 Laboratory Technician and Level 3 Science Manufacturing Technician.
 
Charlotte Blant, Tiro CEO said “We are delighted to be joining forces with SIAS. Steve Smith and his team have impressed us from the word go, with both their industry knowledge and expertise, combined with their commercial approach to supporting the learning journey of our apprentices through the EPA process. We are looking forward to further developing our partnership over the coming months.”
 
Steve Smith, Managing Director of SIAS said: “We are excited and honoured to be working with TIRO as their exclusive EPAO supplier for the apprenticeship standards they offer across the science sector. From the outset, it was evident to me that there were clear and tangible synergies between both organisations regarding our values, mindsets, mission and objectives, and I have no doubt that our collaboration will deliver remarkable results.
 
“TIRO’s dedication to advancing high quality science and science manufacturing apprenticeships aligns seamlessly with our commitment at SIAS to deliver unparalleled value to our partners –   together I know that we will drive innovation and excellence for the benefit of employers and importantly apprentices nationally!”
 
Steve added, “With Charlotte, David, and the entire TIRO team, we are eager to continue to pioneer an innovative apprenticeship model that positively disrupts, exceeds employers’ expectations, and empowers apprentices to realise their full potential as they embark on meaningful careers in industry.”
