Our approved progression qualification schemes are designed for awarding organisations who develop, validate and award qualifications delivered through different training centres, which enable students to gain competences aligned to column B and/or column C of the SCoPEd framework.ÌýÌý

Practitioners who successfully complete a Íø±¬ÃÅ approved progression qualification will be able to apply for accreditation via a more straightforward route. As Íø±¬ÃÅ approved progression qualifications will be aligned to the competences in the SCoPEd framework columns, when applying for either individual accreditation or senior accreditation our members won’t have to demonstrate they meet the required competences in column B or C as this will have been assessed by the course and awarding body.

We'll work in partnership with you to assess your qualifications against our standards and the Scope of Practice and Education (SCoPEd) framework, looking at course design, delivery and assessment.

The approved progression qualification scheme offers awarding organisations:

  • external quality assurance mark that your qualification meets stringent training, practice and quality standards
  • Íø±¬ÃÅ approved logos for joint certification, advertising, publicity and information materials
  • ongoing collaboration with Íø±¬ÃÅ and other stakeholders
  • improved student recruitment
  • a partnership with Íø±¬ÃÅ while maintaining your own autonomy and brand
