What separates them is authority — how far down the page a partner's signature reaches.
Runs the programme in one country: recruits and manages training centres, localises delivery, sets local fees within the Foundation's ceiling, holds the national brand lock-up.
Teaches and invigilates under a national licensee. Accreditation covers trainer qualification, facilities, invigilation and candidate records — per site, per persona.
Advises organisations on workforce adoption mapped to the Standard, and certifies its own consultants at Professional tier.
Never franchised: the Body of Knowledge, the examination, the accreditation criteria and the marks.
The quality regime is the offer. Scheduled audits, unannounced secret-shopper exam sittings, statistical review of pass rates, and revocation of accreditation for breach. Rigour protects every licensee's price.
Applications are assessed quarterly against four tests. A territory stays open until an applicant passes all four — we would rather leave a country unlicensed than licence it badly.
Trainers, venues, invigilation and records — evidenced, not promised.
Funded to run three years without depending on exam revenue.
A credible route to ministries and national skills instruments.
No vendor ownership that would compromise the Standard's neutrality.
National licensees, training centres and consulting partners all start here. We assess capability, capitalisation and public-sector reach before granting — and we grant one national licence per territory.
Applications are assessed quarterly; the licensing team replies within five working days. Individuals looking to earn a Passport should start in their national programme instead.
Exclusive national delivery rights, the country brand lock-up, and the operator entry in the register.
The current Standard, the item bank, invigilation tooling and every cycle's change note.
Audit, secret-shopper sittings and revocation powers — the rigour that protects your price.
