Curriculum, accreditation and quality assurance

Get your programmes built, accredited and quality assured.

Apollo Accreditation helps training providers and academies in Malta and the United Kingdom develop curricula, secure recognised accreditation, and put quality assurance in place that stands up to review. For UK providers, accreditation through Malta gives your programmes a formal, EU-recognised level, a route back into the European market after Brexit.

What we do

Apollo stands for knowledge, order and clarity, and that is the standard we hold your provision to. We are an accreditation and quality assurance partner for training providers and academies. We design curricula, prepare and manage accreditation submissions to bodies such as MFHEA, CPD and Ofqual-regulated awarding organisations, and build the internal and external quality assurance that keeps recognition in place.

For UK providers

A recognised route into the EU market

Since Brexit, a UK qualification no longer holds an automatic, current place in the European Union's own qualifications system. Accreditation through Malta puts that back.

Malta is an EU member state, and the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the eight-level scale that lets employers, regulators and learners across Europe read a qualification's level at a glance. Accredit your programme through Malta and it carries that level directly.

01

An EU-recognised level

Your programme is rated on the MQF and, through it, the EQF, so a European buyer or employer can read its level without translation.

02

Issued from inside the EU

Accreditation sits with a national authority of an EU member state, not a framework the UK has stepped outside of.

03

Portable to European learners

Learners hold a qualification that travels across the single market, which matters if you sell training into the EU or recruit students from it.

One honest caveat. This is about the recognition and level of your qualification, not an automatic licence to practise a regulated profession. Access to regulated professions such as law, accountancy or healthcare runs through separate EU rules, and we will tell you plainly where your programme sits before you commit.

Services

Everything from a first curriculum draft to a fully accredited, quality assured programme, delivered as one joined-up service.

01

Curriculum development

We design programmes, modules and learning outcomes from scratch, or rebuild existing ones, mapped to the right qualification level and credit value.

02

Accreditation services

We prepare and manage submissions for MFHEA, CPD, Ofqual-regulated routes and other bodies, from gap analysis through to approval.

03

Quality assurance for L&D

We build internal and external quality assurance, assessment verification, standardisation and self-evaluation that hold up when a regulator or awarding body reviews you.

04

Qualification framework mapping

We map learning outcomes to MQF, EQF and RQF levels and credit values, so your provision sits at the level you claim.

05

Awarding organisation liaison

We position you with the right awarding organisation and manage the relationship, paperwork and evidence on your behalf.

06

Institutional review and self-assessment

We run readiness reviews and self-assessment reports before a regulator does, so you find the gaps first.

07

Learning design and content review

We review course design, assessment and digital learning content against accreditation standards and give you a clear action list.

08

Verification, certification and CPD approval

We set up verification, certification and CPD approval so your learning is recognised, countable and defensible.

Common questions

Straight answers on accreditation, curriculum development and quality assurance.

What does Apollo Accreditation do?
Apollo Accreditation helps training providers and academies develop curricula, gain recognised accreditation, and put quality assurance in place. We work across MFHEA in Malta, CPD certification, Ofqual-regulated routes in England, and other frameworks, and we cover Malta and the United Kingdom.
What is MFHEA accreditation?
MFHEA is the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority, the national body that licences providers and accredits programmes in Malta against the Malta Qualifications Framework. We help you prepare provider and programme submissions, map learning outcomes to MQF levels, and meet the authority's quality standards.
How does accreditation through Malta help a UK provider reach the EU market?
Malta is an EU member state, and the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the eight-level scale used across Europe to compare qualifications. When your programme is accredited through MFHEA and rated on the MQF, it carries a level that European employers, regulators and learners can read directly. Since Brexit, a UK RQF or CPD credential no longer sits inside the EU's own system in the same way, so this is a practical route back to European recognition. It concerns the recognition and level of the qualification, not an automatic right to practise a regulated profession, which runs through separate EU rules. We confirm current MFHEA standards with the authority before any submission.
What is CPD accreditation?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. CPD accreditation confirms that a course meets recognised standards for professional learning and can be counted towards a learner's annual CPD hours. We design the content, structure the learning outcomes, and prepare the submission to a CPD accreditation body.
Do you work with Ofqual?
Ofqual regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. We support providers who want their qualifications recognised through Ofqual-regulated awarding organisations, and organisations seeking recognition themselves. We help you design qualifications to the Regulated Qualifications Framework and prepare for awarding organisation and regulatory requirements.
What is quality assurance in learning and development?
Quality assurance is the set of checks that make sure a programme is designed, delivered and assessed to a consistent standard. It covers internal quality assurance, external quality assurance, assessment verification and self-evaluation. We build these processes so your provision holds up when a regulator, awarding body or client reviews it.
Who do you work with?
We work with training providers and academies, including independent training providers, private academies, vocational and technical training centres, apprenticeship providers, further and higher education colleges, professional bodies and membership associations, awarding organisations, corporate learning and development teams, online learning and edtech providers, language schools, CPD and short-course providers, bootcamps and skills academies, tuition and study centres, coaching and consultancy training businesses, and sector skills and industry training bodies.
Which countries do you cover?
We work with clients in Malta and the United Kingdom, and with international providers seeking recognition through Maltese, EU or UK frameworks.
