How do I have my scheme accredited?

Once you have made contact, we will arrange for a member of our apprenticeship accreditation team, to contact you, to discuss the requirements of your scheme.

If we feel that your scheme will benefit from accreditation a member of the team will visit your workplace to look at the design, content, and assessment strategy of your apprenticeship and make sure that there are satisfactory quality assurance arrangements.

They’ll also look at the level of support offered to the apprentice during their time on the scheme and when they graduate into the main workforce. If there are any gaps, we’ll be able to advise you on the best way forward.
