The majority of our courses are accredited through the Open College Network, a recognised awarding body.

Note that many organisations imply that their courses are accredited when they are not. Do not be misled by references to 'higher diplomas' or fancy logos.

Recognised qualifications will be accredited through an organisation recognised and approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Authority (QCdA) such as the Open College Network or City & Guilds. Check on the National Database of Accredited Organisation if you are not sure
