Regulatory requirements

Thursday, 12 May 2011 11:14

Ofqual recognises organisations to award regulated qualifications. The Recognition Criteria against which we make recognition decisions focus on the suitability of applicants to become recognised awarding organisations as set out in the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009.

Once recognised each awarding organisation is subject to conditions of recognition. These are the requirements it has to meet on an ongoing basis. All awarding organisations are subject to the General Conditions of Recognition. In addition we can impose conditions of recognition on an awarding organisation if it awards specific qualifications or descriptions of qualifications and on awarding organisations that meet a certain description. We also have the power to place specific conditions on any individual awarding organisation.
