Adding value to your curriculum offer
As a provider you’re focused on delivering high-quality learning and training that meets regional skill needs to address labour market demand.
You’ll need the flexibility to offer not only regulated qualifications but also unregulated forms of learning with bespoke courses or learning programmes that can meet those employer’s needs. NCFE’s Accreditation and Employer Services can support you with that development backed with the stamp of approval of a recognised Awarding Organisation (AO).
We offer a range of products and services to enable providers to accredit their training from endorsement of more informal learning through to development and co-creation of your own qualification.
How can accredited training benefit my organisation?
- Deliver credible programmes that have official recognition and validation from one of the UK’s biggest awarding organisations.
- Help you plan and design tailored learning solutions that can complement your regulated offer but are agile enough to respond to industry need and sector skills gaps – whether those be bite-size learning, workshops or qualifications.
- Support your business development efforts and expand your employer facing provision with a flexible solution that can be used to support apprenticeship delivery, delivering adult funding contracts such as Skills Bootcamps or broadening your full cost offer.

Endorsed Programmes
Endorsed Programmes will suit you if you have informal training activities with no formal assessment criteria which you’d like to be quality benchmarked.

Customised Qualifications
Design your own bespoke qualifications in-house and we’ll accredit them in line with our quality criteria.
