Regulatory recognition
Operational support to help you meet regulatory requirements
Achieving regulatory recognition in the qualifications market is a critical milestone for organisations seeking to provide a credible offer.
It is a mark of quality and compliance, but navigating the complex recognition process can be daunting, especially for small or emerging organisations.
At AQA Global, we understand these challenges. Over the years, we have supported numerous organisations on their journey to recognition and compliance with regulators, including Ofqual, Qualifications Wales, SQA and CCEA.
How can AQA Global help your organisation become recognised?
Our services are entirely flexible. Whether you’re a prospective EPAO, a vocational training provider, or an expert provider in an area, we work closely with your team to ensure you meet regulatory requirements confidently and efficiently.
Our support includes:
Diagnostic review
We assess your current readiness against Ofqual’s/other recognition criteria and identify any gaps that need to be addressed.
Documentation support
Our experienced team helps you develop the essential policies, procedures, and documentation required for a robust recognition application.
Process development
We assist in building the operational frameworks necessary to comply with regulatory expectations, including governance structures, quality assurance processes, and risk management strategies.
Mock reviews and audit preparation
To build confidence, we can conduct trial audits with your staff, so that every one of your teams is fully prepared for the real thing.
Ongoing compliance consultancy
Recognition is just the start. We also offer continued support to help organisations maintain compliance over time.
Why work with us?
We bring the strength of a multidisciplinary team. Our consultants have deep experience across assessment, qualifications, research and evaluation, IT, finance, and compliance. We work regularly with clients who already have regulatory recognition. Many of our team have worked as responsible officers in AOs themselves, and as such, we have an intimate understanding of what regulators expect.
How do we help you stand out?
With the number of vocational Awarding organisations increasing, now more than double what it was five years ago, standing out in a crowded marketplace is becoming difficult. Recognition can give your organisation a competitive edge, and with AQA Global as your partner, you’ll have the strategic and operational support needed to get there.
Let’s Get Started
If you’re thinking about applying for Ofqual recognition or want to strengthen your compliance arrangements, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to build a strong, compliant future for your organisation.
