NVQ Approval

Applying to become an NCFE approved centre is the first step to deliver our NVQs.

We’ve tried to keep the process as simple as possible, but we might need to take a look at your quality systems to make sure your candidates will be assessed and supported well.

To gain approval you’ll need:
• appropriately qualified and experienced staff to assess, internally  verify and administer each NVQ you want to offer
• effective administrative systems and processes
• policies and procedures designed to ensure quality, and to allow fair and equal access to assessment and achievement for all your candidates
• access to the right equipment, facilities and resources.

If you are applying for the first time to offer NVQs please complete the Application Form to Become an NCFE Approved Centre and return it to us. An Approval Advisor will visit you to support the Centre Approval process.

If you’re already approved to offer NVQs by another awarding body we probably won't need to carry out an approval visit; if not we’ll need to spend (up to) a day with you to confirm that you have everything in place that you need to successfully deliver our NVQs.

If you're already an Approved Centre for NVQs and would like to offer additional NVQ products: simple! Just complete an Application to Offer an Additional Product(s) form and send it to your Centre Support contact.

If you’re new to NCFE an Approval Advisor will visit you to support the Centre Approval process.
