What Can Approved Centres Offer with NQual?
Ofqual-Regulated Qualifications
These qualifications are regulated by Ofqual and listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Approved centres delivering regulated qualifications must meet defined quality assurance requirements to ensure consistency, compliance, and learner confidence.
Regulated qualifications are widely recognised and are often required for progression routes, formal education pathways, and employer recognition.
NQual Endorsed Programmes
NQual Endorsed Programmes are quality-assured by NQual but sit outside of the regulated qualifications framework. They provide centres with a flexible way to offer structured training while still benefiting from independent awarding organisation endorsement.
Endorsed programmes are well suited to bespoke training, professional development, and employer-led provision where full regulation is not required.
