Why Become a Centre?

When you become a Focus Awards Approved Centre, you become our business partner. We attach great value to our centres and their clients.

Centres enjoy a supportive, responsive and helpful relationship with Focus Awards. We listen and encourage rather than tell and lecture. In other words, we collaborate with you to enable a "win-win" partnership between us.

We recognise that success for both of us is dependent on the strength of that partnership. Your ability to meet the needs of your learners in a timely, cost-effective and efficient way determines its value.

Of course, we must also observe and practice our corporate and civil obligations to the public and Ofqual, our regulator. We help you deliver best business practice in full compliance with their criteria. You would expect no less…

We develop qualifications in a wide range of subject matter areas and commercial sectors. These qualifications appear on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and are nationally recognised.

We can also quality assure your own non-regulated qualifications. This can be useful to endorse such offerings as short courses and CPD. Our Focus on Quality Provision (FQP) Scheme allows you the freedom to develop them.

As a Focus Awards Approved Centre, you can fully meet the specific needs and requirements of your own learners, by offering both nationally recognised qualifications and endorsed CPD or specialist short courses.
