Certification marks an important point in every learner's journey. NQual supports certification across Qualifications, Endorsed Programmes and Apprenticeship Assessment, with different arrangements depending on the programme completed.
Qualifications and Endorsed Programmes
NQual's primary method of certification for Qualifications and Endorsed Programmes is through e-certificates. E-certificates are issued at no additional cost and provide learners with a convenient, secure way to receive and retain evidence of their achievement.
Once a learner has successfully completed their programme and achievement has been confirmed, the approved centre can submit a certification claim to NQual. Following processing, an e-certificate is issued for the learner.
E-certificates provide a convenient and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional paper certificates, allowing learners to store, download and share their achievement electronically.
Paper Certificates
NQual primarily use e-certificates, but paper certificates can also be requested where required. Additional fees apply and are outlined within the NQual Pricing Guide.
Certificate Verification
NQual does not currently provide an online certificate verification service for Qualifications or Endorsed Programmes.
If a learner, employer, university, training provider or other organisation wishes to verify a certificate issued by NQual, please contact our team directly and we will be happy to assist.
Apprenticeship Assessment Certificates
Certification for apprenticeships follows a different process and is managed through the Department for Education. Once an apprentice has successfully completed their apprenticeship and received confirmation of achievement, the Department for Education processes the certification claim and issues the apprenticeship certificate directly to the learner. This will be delivered to the specified address provided by the apprentice.
Apprenticeship certificates are typically issued as physical paper certificates and sent to the learner following completion of the certification process. Certificates can take up to six weeks to arrive following confirmation of achievement. If you have not received your certificate after this time, please contact the NQual team for support.
Digital Apprenticeship Certificates
The Department for Education now provides a digital service that allows apprentices to view, download and share their apprenticeship certificates online. For more information about this service, please click here.
This service is separate from NQual's Qualification and Endorsed Programme certification processes.
The Benefits Of e-Certificates
Quick and convenient access to evidence of achievement
Simple to share with employers, education providers and other organisations
Easy to store digitally for future reference
Reduced risk of damage or loss compared with a single paper copy
A more sustainable alternative to printing and posting certificates
