ASIQUAL Validation is designed to provide an endorsement for many specialized and independent courses and provides external recognition and certification of students’ achievements.
Validation recognizes the specialized courses developed by centers in order to meet the specific needs of students, employers, and educators. This is also useful for companies who choose to develop their own specialized training programs, which meet the needs of their business and provide the targeted industry skills needed for employee progression. Through ASIQUAL Validated Awards certification, students, and employees can gain formal recognition of the new skills, knowledge, and competence they have gained.
ASIQUAL Validation involves a thorough review of the course content, delivery systems, and quality assurance arrangements. The course is then benchmarked against the FHEQ and EQF qualification systems and assigned a benchmarked level and credit value, where applicable, to provide students with information about the level of difficulty and size of their course of study.
Validation of your courses allows you to demonstrate the quality of your programs to third parties. ASIQUAL will also conduct ongoing external sampling of these awards, providing you with the second level of quality assurance.
ASIQUAL Validated awards are written and owned by the developing organization, not ASIQUAL, so although we won’t advertise these awards, we are happy for centers to market them by referring to ASIQUAL Validation
Our validation package offers:
certification of learners’ achievement (these awards can be double bagged with an institution’s own logo)
