Certificate of achievement

The course has been endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme for its high quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. This course is not regulated by Ofqual and is therefore not a government accredited qualification. The Blackford Centre will be able to advise you on any further recognition, for example progression routes to further and/or higher education. For further information, visit the Learner FAQs on the Quality Licence scheme website.

The course itself has been designed by The Blackford Centre to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
This means that The Blackford centre has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at at Level 4 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.
