AccessCentral is an established assessment and support service based in Southampton, originally founded in 2000. It works with students and organisations to identify support needs and help people put practical solutions into place. Its services include study needs assessments, workplace disability support assessments, assistive technology training, and diagnostic assessments for specific learning differences.

AccessCentral supports clients from the application process through to implementing recommended strategies in their everyday study or work practices. Its assessors and trainers aim to make the process clear and supportive, helping clients engage with appropriate assistance and build independence. The service aims to see students within five working days, although availability may vary during busy periods, and encourages early booking. Assessments can be booked online at any time.

The team is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and can offer evening or weekend appointments on request for people with other commitments. Students or workers seeking an assessment can contact AccessCentral to arrange an appointment and discuss the support available.
