All awarding bodies in the UK are regulated by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, also known as the QCA. One function of this regulatory body is to recognise awarding bodies as capable of operating within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). This involves considering awarding bodies’ systems, procedures and resources in relation to the qualifications they intend to offer. Awarding bodies must also demonstrate that they have robust and appropriate management arrangements, and policies and procedures that will support and protect learners who take their qualifications. Although every awarding body recognised by QCA varies in size and structure, learners and centres can be confident that each has met the regulatory criteria on all of the above areas.
