Training Providers
How do I add a new qualification to my existing accreditation scope?

How do I explain accreditation status to learners on my website?

Start by proving the learner journey from admission to completion. Accreditation evidence is strongest when learner files, attendance, assessment, moderation, workplace evidence, support notes, and certificate decisions can be traced together.
How do I prove that workplace mentors or supervisors are involved properly?
Treat workplace evidence as part of the accreditation system from the start. The provider should be able to show workplace agreements, mentor roles, learner placement records, logbooks, supervisor sign-off, and exception follow-up.
How do I know whether my assessors and moderators are ready for QCTO accreditation?
Assessors and moderators are ready when their scope, qualifications, experience, appointment records, responsibilities, and evidence workflows match the programme being offered.
