How do I identify a certificate that has been issues by an Awarding Organisation?

Awarding organisation certificates display some or all of the following:

  • Awarding organisation’s logo e.g. Active IQ, YMCA Awards, Innovate Awarding, Focus Awards, VTCT
  • Award title e.g. Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training
  • Qualification Accreditation Number (QAN) e.g. 600/4941/8
  • Date of issue
  • Certificate number
  • Ofqual logo

 

Important: A Unit Credit certificate, letter of confirmation or certificate issued by a Training Provider, are not accepted. This is to ensure a standardised and robust accreditation process. An Awarding Organisation certificate confirms you have completed the knowledge and skills content, plus any assessment processes, to be officially awarded the qualification.
