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

a Certificate of Achievement that evidences and demonstrates they have achieved a qualification
