The awarding organization, Focus Awards provides help to their approved centres in the two key areas:

Quality assure a centre’s own non-regulated qualiﬁcations. This can be useful to endorse such oﬀerings as short courses and CPD. Their Focus on Quality Provision (FQP) Scheme allows centres the freedom to develop them.

Bespoke

Focus Awards also endorses non-regulated qualifications that meet the needs and requirements of learners.

After the approved centre’s application, the awarding body reviews its management systems and internal quality assurance arrangements to ensure that the centre has robust systems in place to develop its own qualifications and materials, together with appropriately qualified staff to assess and quality assure your provision.

By endorsing non-regulated qualifications for the Approved Centres, Focus Awards help learners choose products and learning providers that have been through a rigorous quality control process. The certification learners receive on successful completion helps them gain a sense of achievement and reassurance that their hard work is worthwhile and valued.

On successful completion of an FQP endorsed non-regulated qualification, learners are awarded a Certificate of Achievement that evidences and demonstrates they have achieved a qualification that requires dedication, hard work, and subject matter knowledge.

Student Reviews

Laura

Full of knowledge and useful information, suggestion for lesson plan and ideas for support learning. The knowledge, as mother and "home" teacher was incomplete, after this course I'm feel more comfortable in these topics.

Catherine Streng

It was hard work but I learned a lot. Because of this it was well worth it and I am well on my way to succeeding in my goal to become an English teacher in Asia. Instead of being scared as I previously was, I am only a little bit nervous now that I have this experience under my belt.

Joseph Cachia

It was a challenge for me as it been a long time since I had done any academic studying but the course was structured well overall as the course progressed I was relating more to what I was doing at school and implementing them and seeing results I could see my self-confidence growing thru the course.

Melissa Laurin

The course was very informative and I really liked the fact that I could do the Work on my own time. That made less pressure and I could do my best work for the assignments.
