Methodology

Real records.
Careful boundaries.

Coverage & limits

A useful evidence check,
not a practice decision.

This release covers the Ofqual awarding-organisation register. It does not yet contain every professional regulator or jurisdiction.

Always confirm the qualification and your personal registration route with the relevant professional regulator before starting work.
