Skills and apprenticeships

IHE can support providers become recognised awarding organisations by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual).

As an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation, a provider can design, deliver and award qualifications, including apprenticeship end-point assessments (EPAs). Apart from gaining the quality mark of Ofqual, such recognition can attract funding for teaching in state and publicly funded schools and colleges, as well as eligibility for EPA provider application (where Ofqual is the regulator).
