High quality, flexible learning
Helping centres deliver specialised courses of learning by giving them the TQUK stamp of approval.
Endorsement allows centres to create bespoke courses of learning that can be adapted to suit the specific needs of different groups of learners.
An endorsed course is developed by a centre, rather than TQUK. We don't help shape the course content and it isn’t reviewed against Ofqual criteria or placed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). But every centre that delivers one goes through our rigorous External Quality Assurance checks, meaning they provide the same high levels of learning we expect from all our recognised centres.
What are the key benefits?
Endorsed courses provide wide-ranging benefits that make them a perfect alternative to regulated qualifications for centres and learners alike.
If you’re a centre, you can:
Rely on our years of insight, expertise, and industry-leading customer service whenever you need support.
Offer enhanced credibility to your courses with the confidence that they meet certain quality standards.
Gain the credibility of working with an Ofqual-regulated Awarding Organisation with a large global footprint.
If you’re a learner, you can:
Earn a paper or e-certificate at the end of the course that you can use to verify your achievement.
Develop the specialised skills you need to advance in your current role and grow your career for the future.
Gain the assurance that the course meets certain quality and educational criteria.
