Recognition that encourages progress.

We recognise the effort and perseverance behind an achievement as well as the result. Appreciation encourages learners, builds confidence, and supports their next steps.

  • Value every effort.
  • Encourage continuous progress.
  • Celebrate meaningful achievement.
  • Inspire future possibilities.

Meaningful recognition. Clear principles.

Each programme has a distinct educational purpose. EEA uses examination-related, cutoff-linked categories. PEA and AEA eligibility, assessment methods, categories, and entitlements await official confirmation; EEA star rules do not apply to them.

Awarding criteria and verification

For EEA 2026, the updated category table lists cutoff scenarios 130, 131, 132, 133, and 135. These are not an exhaustive district list. The Six Stars range for cutoff 130 overlaps Five Stars, and the Seven Stars ‘Above’ thresholds need boundary clarification. Exact numerical ranges will be published only after Impel resolves these issues. Contact Impel for an individual category assessment.

From eligibility to the presentation

The proposed awarding workflow covers programme eligibility, examination result assessment, category determination, information verification, official confirmation, and award presentation. The detailed procedure remains subject to operational confirmation; an enquiry does not establish eligibility or confirm a place.
