What are Endorsed Programmes?
Endorsed Programmes are bespoke training or educational courses developed by training institutes. While these courses do not fall under the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) or align with Ofqual criteria, they undergo rigorous review by an Awarding Organisation (AO), such as NQual, to ensure they meet essential quality standards.
Receiving an endorsement provides learners and employers with confidence in the credibility and value of your programme(s).
Endorsed Programmes are an excellent solution for organisations offering informal training activities without defined learning outcomes or assessment criteria. Additionally, your organisation retains full ownership and intellectual property rights (IPR) over your programme(s).

What NQual Approved Centres Say
Lincoln Institute of Graduate Studies
The approval process was straight-forward, though it required careful documentation and adherence to guidelines. We received helpful support throughout the process, and all our questions were answered promptly and clearly. We would recommend NQual to others internationally, as they provide a structured and supportive approach to accreditation.
