Focus Awards is an awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual who are the regulator of qualifications (other than degrees), exams and assessments in England, and vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland.
As a national Awarding Organisation we develop qualifications in a broad range of subject matter areas and sectors for the regulated market. We are also able to quality assure and endorse an organisation’s own non-regulated qualifications.
Our qualifications, many of which are listed on the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF), are nationally recognised and regulated by Ofqual. Additionally, our Focus on Quality Provision (FQP) Licensing Scheme can give Approved Centres the freedom to develop bespoke qualifications that meet the needs and requirements of their own learners.
