Customised

Ascentis has offered customised qualifications for many years and these have proved invaluable in recognising achievement and progressing learners to further study.

We may agree to develop a customised qualification for a new centre/organisation, providing it fits strategically with Ascentis and has a sound business case. Proposals will only be considered from Entry Level to Level 3. In such cases, the first stage would be to explore if the proposal could be developed for Ofqual regulation. The review fee is one-off and non-refundable. It covers the review of the proposal and supporting documentation in order that Ascentis can decide if it is appropriate to go forward for development.

The initial review will determine the number of development days required and the development fee. Send any such proposals, to include qualification details, a rationale and a business case by contacting development@ascentis.co.uk
