Accreditation and Employer Services

Accredit. Customise. Endorse.
Our Accreditation and Employer Services are for organisations that want to give their bespoke in-house training and qualifications something extra, with official recognition from one of the UK’s biggest awarding organisations.
Our brand and expertise will enable you to demonstrate the quality and rigour of your qualification to your end user.
This will help you drive sales and improve the value of your qualification. Plus, you’ll retain ownership of your course content and delivery.
We have two different products to choose from within our Accreditation and Employer Services – Customised Qualifications and Endorsed Programmes.
Customised Qualifications
Design your own qualifications in-house and we’ll accredit them in line with our quality criteria.
Customised Qualifications are the perfect solution for your organisation if you have training needs with measurable learning outcomes and assessment criteria, but which aren’t met by regulated qualifications.
Endorsed programmes
Make your organisation's training activities more official with our Endorsed Programmes, which give informal training with no learning outcomes and assessment criteria our stamp of approval.
If you’re a centre outside of the UK looking to use our Accreditation Services, please visit our NCFE International page.
