What to check next

  1. Check the current official register using the recognition number RN5188 or the exact qualification number.
  2. Visit the organisation’s website to confirm the provider is authorised to offer the qualification.
  3. For a regulated profession, separately check the relevant professional regulator’s requirements. Ofqual recognition alone is not permission to work in that profession.
