Certification options
Some organisations require certification to be issued by an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation.
We offer both self-certified and Ofqual-regulated accredited courses. The course content and training remain the same; the primary difference is the certification body and associated third-party fees.
Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation certification is available at an additional fee per person.
