Regulated qualifications with practical support for centres
QNUK is a recognised awarding organisation, regulated by Ofqual in England, Qualifications Wales and CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland. We design, award and quality assure regulated qualifications for training providers, employers and learners across the UK and internationally.
Our qualifications support a wide range of sectors, including first aid, pre-hospital care, security, health and safety, education and training, spectator safety, and other specialist vocational areas.
We work with approved centres to help them deliver qualifications that are valid, reliable and fit for purpose. Our role is not only to award certificates, but to provide the guidance, systems and quality assurance needed to support consistent and compliant delivery.
What we offer
QNUK provides regulated qualifications that are designed to meet the needs of learners, centres, employers and industry.

Assessment materials, qualification specifications, guidance documents and quality assurance processes to support consistent delivery.
Centre support
A centre support team that works with approved centres to answer questions, resolve issues and help maintain compliance.
Learner certification
Reliable certification processes for learners who successfully achieve QNUK qualifications.
Working with centres
We believe strong awarding organisation and centre relationships are built on clear expectations, good communication and mutual trust.
QNUK works collaboratively with approved centres, helping them understand qualification requirements, assessment expectations and quality assurance responsibilities. We aim to be supportive and practical, while maintaining the standards required of a regulated awarding organisation.
Our approach is simple: we want centres to succeed, but success must be built on valid assessment, fair treatment of learners, accurate records and consistent compliance with regulatory requirements.
This means we provide support where it is needed, challenge where standards are at risk, and work with centres to improve practice over time.
Supportive, proportionate and compliance-led
As an awarding organisation, QNUK must protect the integrity of its qualifications and the interests of learners.
We take compliance seriously, but we also recognise that centres need clear, practical guidance rather than unnecessary complexity. Our approach to quality assurance is risk-based and proportionate. We focus on the areas that matter most: learner safety, assessment validity, accurate results, fair access and reliable certification.
We aim to make our requirements clear, our decisions consistent and our support accessible.
