Awarding Body Information

Awarding Body Information

All Oxford Learning College courses have been designed and written to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements. In order for our courses to be awarded and endorsed by each of the Awarding Bodies, Oxford Learning College courses must pass robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met.

Further to our courses being endorsed and awarded by well-known Awarding Bodies, we also have all our courses certified by The CPD Certification Service, which ensures that all courses offer students an opportunity to add to their Continuing Professional Development.

Quality Licence Scheme

At the end of a Professional Level 3 Diploma course successful learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Quality Licence Scheme and a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the components the learner has completed as part of the course).

The course has been endorsed under the  Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Oxford Learning College 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 Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed by Oxford Learning College to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. 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.
