Trust and recognition centre

The proof behind what we do

Choosing an accreditation partner, or a training vendor, is a reputational decision. This is where we show our work: how we operate, what we can and cannot do, and everything your due diligence team needs to sign us off.

We prepare and manage accreditation through the recognised regulators and awarding bodies. We are not an awarding organisation, and we do not award qualifications ourselves.

Who this is for

Two people, one standard of proof

Whether you are a provider choosing an accreditation partner or an employer buying learning, you are making the same bet: that the people behind the work are capable, honest, and safe to deal with. Here is how we answer that for each of you.

For training and course providers

A partner who has done this before

Accreditation is a reputational bet. We take providers to recognised accreditation through the regulators, and we show our reasoning at every step so the outcome never rests on one person's memory.

  • A clear method, from diagnosis to a managed submission
  • Honest scoping: we tell you before you spend money if a route is unlikely to work
  • Consented case studies and named references, available on request

For employers buying learning

A safe, capable vendor

We design learning against a clear performance need, quality-assure it, and keep it current. And we pass your vendor and procurement checks without friction.

  • Learning built to change performance, not just to be completed
  • Personal data held securely, used only as our privacy notice sets out
  • A data processing agreement and a full due diligence pack on request

Our method

From need to recognised credential

The same repeatable route on every engagement. We work through Ofqual and the other UK nations' regulators, MFHEA and the CPD bodies, and we map across the MQF, EQF, RQF, CQFW and SCQF frameworks.

1

Diagnose

The goal, the right route, and the body that fits.

2

Gap analysis

Your current position against the published requirements.

3

Build

The content, the evidence, and the documentation.

4

Submit

We prepare and manage the submission.

5

Support

Through review to the outcome.

Honest by design

What we can do, and what we cannot

The clearest sign of a safe partner is one who draws the line in the right place before you ask. Here is ours.

What we do

Prepare and manage accreditation submissions to the recognised regulators and awarding bodies, develop the courses and evidence behind them, quality-assure the result, and keep it current as the criteria change.

What we are not

We are a consultancy, not a regulator, an awarding organisation, or an accreditation body. We do not award qualifications, we do not grant accreditation, and we do not control the decision. That belongs to the body, applying its own criteria at the time it decides.

We have done the work

Working in course development, accreditation and training since 2010, with hands-on delivery behind every engagement.

A due diligence pack ready to send, a named person for your team, and a published complaints and appeals route.

Clear terms, no surprises

Terms of engagement in writing, no guarantee of a body's decision, and an honest go or no-go before you commit.

Common questions

Answers your team will ask

Do you award qualifications?
No. We are a consultancy. We prepare and manage accreditation submissions to the recognised regulators and awarding bodies. We are not a regulator, an awarding organisation or an accreditation body, we do not award qualifications, and we do not grant accreditation.
Do you guarantee my accreditation will be approved?
No. That decision belongs to the body, applying its own criteria at the time it decides. We commit to work that meets the published criteria as they stand when we prepare it, and to telling you honestly before you spend money if we think an application is unlikely to succeed.
Do you have a privacy notice and a lawful basis for outreach?
Yes. Our privacy notice sets out how we hold and use personal data. Our business outreach relies on legitimate interests, with an assessment on file and a clear opt-out in every message.
Do you offer a data processing agreement?
Yes, on request. A template is ready and reviewed, and it forms part of the due diligence pack.
Do you use multi-factor authentication?
Yes, across the core stack: the CRM and outreach tools, email, hosting, and the learning platform.
Who are your sub-processors?
The current sub-processor list is available on request, and it is included in the due diligence pack.
Do you hold a security certification?
We do not currently hold a formal certification such as Cyber Essentials. We describe the controls we do run: multi-factor authentication across the core stack, a retention schedule, a data processing agreement on request, and access limited to the people who need it. We will state any certification here only once it is held.
How do you keep your advice current?
We run a regulator and framework horizon-scan across Ofqual, the other UK nations' regulators, MFHEA and the CPD bodies, and we update our method and content when the source changes.
