Approval process
The Approval process is one that takes as long as is necessary for the provider, in discussion with the Approvals Officer, to put together the relevant documents, arrange a visit and implement any conditions arising from the visit.
The Approval Officer
The Approval Officer’s role is to support and guide learning providers through the process and to deliver Approval reports to the Approval Committee. They co-ordinate the process and liaise between the learning provider and the committee.
The Approval Officer will be on hand to answer any questions you have; provide further information and guidance on the process; advise on the documents you are required to submit, and support you in the Approval process.
