Why NFER?

NFER undertakes about 200 projects for some 80 clients each year. By guiding policy makers and those working directly with learners we help to improve learners’ experiences of education. 

Our research and evaluation work is tailored to clients’ needs and covers a wide range of subjects. From major evaluations to smaller scale studies, we give you the information you need, when you need it. Our standing in the education and children’s services area has led to some significant partnerships in ground-breaking projects.

Our long background in assessment research and unparalleled expertise in assessment development ensures tests are totally fit for clients’ purposes.

NFER offers a complete package – not just research, but professional services to support that research.

We actively seek feedback from our clients so we can improve our performance
