In 2015, Express Publishing and the University of Greenwich launched a partnership to develop and establish the Vocational English Certification (VEC). With that in mind, INTERVENG (International Vocational English) was set up, as a division of Express Publishing, with the sole purpose of administering the VEC assessment and examination model. 

In 2019, EPiQ Assessment (English Proficiency International Qualifications) was founded as an awarding body with the scope to develop, deliver and award certificates of English Language skills. EPiQ Assessment joined forces with Interveng in order to combine reformatting of the VEC exam together with the knowledge and experience of Interveng. 

By utilizing the current distribution network of authorized exam centers and having conducted successfully more than 4000 exams in different countries around the world, EPiQ Assessment aims to claim its position as a trusted and innovative awarding body among the best in the global industry of certifications.
