Proving What Students Can Do: Why EPP Matters More Than Ever

Colleges and universities are under growing pressure to demonstrate how well they prepare students for life beyond the classroom. Employers and accreditors need more than transcripts and course grades—they want clear, measurable evidence of transferable skills. That’s where the E-Proficiency Profile (EPP) comes in.

EPP is a comprehensive assessment to evaluate core student competencies like critical thinking, reading, writing, and math. Unlike most institution-built tools, EPP is externally validated and nationally normed—giving you trusted data that stands up to scrutiny. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about clarity. With EPP, institutions can confidently answer the question: What do our students know, and what can they do?

More than 400 institutions use EPP to strengthen program review, guide instruction, and support accreditation. The data can reveal where specific student groups need support and where instructional strategies work. And with results delivered quickly, EPP becomes more than a testing tool—it’s a feedback engine.

Implementation is fast. Most institutions launch within weeks without the need for complex integrations. Whether you’re running EPP for one program or your entire student body, the platform flexes to fit your goals.

EPP also goes further by awarding skill-based digital badges for students who demonstrate proficiency. These badges are more than symbolic—they offer students a way to show employers what they can do and help your institution better communicate its value.

In a time when outcomes matter more than ever, EPP gives you the credible, scalable, and actionable skills data you need. No guesswork. No fluff. Just real evidence of learning.
