Centre recognition and centre qualification approval arrangements: Summary

Last updated on: 08/04/2008

The regulators of external qualifications in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland worked with awarding bodies to develop a common process for recognising centres that are capable of delivering accredited qualifications and units. This leaflet, published as a revised edition in June 2006, provides a brief summary of the project’s aims and proposals.

This document was published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA). The regulatory function of QCA is now the responsibility of the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual). Ofqual regulates qualifications and monitors national curriculum assessments in England.
