Quality Assurance Agency
QAA is the regulator for the Access to Higher Education Diploma. However, their role is principally in Higher Education reviewing quality and standards, including that offered at FE colleges. They also publish reports on their findings.
QAA also publish guidance that is used throughout the higher education sector to uphold quality and standards. They advise the government on which institutions should be given degree awarding powers and review private colleges to see if they should be trusted by the UK Borders Agency to admit overseas students.
All our Access Courses are awarded through the Open College Network North West Region who are a QAA recognised Access Validating Agency (AVA).
