Learning Skills Council Research
Our early research generated a lot of interest and encouragement from both the U.K. professional Association of Educational Psychologists and, more recently the International Testing Commission and Learning Skills Council.
In December 2003 as part of the annual Learning & Skills Research Network Conference at Warwick University P.A.S.S. was "highly commended" and we received an L.S.C. national research award.

It is estimated that the PASS system alone has already made a difference to the lives of over 1,500,000 young people!
