Regulated qualifications are reviewed and accredited by a regulatory body that assures the qualification offers a quality syllabus, learning outcomes, assessment and teaching strategies. The assessments of regulated qualifications are undertaken fairly to guarantee that the certificate is recognised as a valid achievement. Regulated qualifications are recognised worldwide and provide a pathway to a higher level of study. Employers also value regulated qualifications, and employees who achieve them gain a competitive advantage over others.
In the UK, qualifications at schools and colleges are regulated by Ofqual, which maintains a register providing more details on each qualification and its awarding bodies. To ensure quality assurance, regulated qualifications are reviewed periodically so learners obtain up-to-date skills and knowledge and have confidence in the qualifications they pursue.
