Is this the right qualification for your provider?
New provider suitability: Possible if the provider already has strong QMS, staff, and assessment controls. Established provider suitability: Stronger, especially where the provider already delivers in business, administration, or finance. Facility pressure: Facilities usually focus on training rooms, computer access, records, learner support, and controlled assessment administration. Equipment pressure: Equipment is usually moderate: computers, connectivity, business documents, templates, case studies, and secure assessment storage. Staff pressure: Staff should have practical business, administration, management, finance, or workplace operations experience relevant to the qualification. Workplace/practical pressure: Workplace exposure is stronger when learners can work with real documents, processes, records, clients, reports, or supervised administrative tasks.
