STUDYING OUR QUALIFICATIONS

You should enjoy your studies with us, and we do our best to make sure your experience is all you expect.
We are committed to all our learners.

You have two distinct and separate types of qualification to choose from – those we have endorsed under our Focus on Quality Provision (FQP) Scheme and those on the regulated qualification framework (RQF). They differ in several ways, and the following descriptions of each help you decide which you need or want to study.

FQP Qualifications

What are FQP Qualifications

We provide Quality Assurance to a training provider’s specialist bespoke or CPD qualifications under our Focus on Quality Provision (FQP) Scheme.

FQP Qualifications do not accrue credits on the regulated qualification framework. Successful completion of an FQP endorsed qualification results in the issue and presentation of a Focus Awards Certificate of Achievement that details the precise subject matter studied.

What are RQF Qualifications?

RQF Qualifications result from successful completion of training programmes set at a level between Entry-Level (Level 1) and Level 8. They are made up of units, each of which has both a level and a credit value. For each level there are three types of qualification based on the number of credits allocated: Awards (1 to 12 credits), Certificates (13 to 36 credits) and Diplomas (37+ credits). These are listed on the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF).

Here's what others say

“Our journey with Focus Awards so far has been like no other!

They have made the experience from the start uplifting, exciting and commendable for us as a company.

We have achieved what we set out to do with some additional requirements required by Focus Awards to get there and it was the smoothest process we have had so far!

All the team there have been a pleasure and has helped us along the way with their welcoming tone and encouraging attitude providing a professional and knowledgeable service! Focus awards are 10/10 and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

We are so grateful!”

Moving to Focus Awards was the perfect next step for my business. Focus gave me the incentive and the freedom to develop my qualifications to suit the ever-changing needs of my target market. My best-selling qualifications are now bespoke and reflect the knowledge and experience of the entire GXT team. The simple fact that I can update my course content enables GXT to react quickly as the industry changes and gives me ultimate confidence as a training provider. My monthly spend with Focus Awards allows me to invest in my business which has seen profits grow and awareness increase. I would recommend Focus Awards to any training provider who has experience and wants to develop their own content, expand their business and cultivate an independent business profile.

Since becoming an approved Focus Awards Centre I have been impressed with their forward thinking, modern approach to managing centres. I have found our EQA, Alison, very supportive and on the same page as us, which is a massive positive. We are a fast growing Training Provider and I find Focus are helping cater for us as we scale.

We would like to thank and recommend Focus Awards as one of the best awarding bodies we have had the pleasure of working alongside. Focus Awards are more than accommodating to support in the provision of quality qualifications, working with training providers to support delivery with resources, smooth operations and hassle-free working practices.
