Partnerships

We offer a range of partnerships, designed to reflect the diversity of organisations we work with, and the breadth of qualifications and learning programmes we provide.

Building educational opportunity across the globe

Supporting both domestic and international organisations, we work with universities, colleges and schools, charities and community groups, banking institutes, awarding bodies, professional institutes/societies, training providers and a wide variety of corporate clients, employers and individuals.


Our arrangements are carefully tailored to meet the aims and needs of our partners and learners.

Some recent examples of our work in these areas:
  • International joint development, delivery and awarding of qualifications, learning programmes and training courses.

  • Working with learning delivery partners and assessment centres.

  • Partnerships with UK apprenticeship providers and employers.

  • Accreditation of training courses, learning programmes, CPD programmes and other awarding bodies’ qualifications.

  • Trusted Partner agreements.

  • Programme validations and recognition

  • Advanced standing agreements.


Do you have a training course that prepares students for our professional qualifications and want to differentiate yourself from competitors?

Stand out from the crowd and gain recognition by joining our Accredited Learning Support Provider (ALSP) scheme.


This currently includes: Certificate in Mortgage Advice (CeMAP)*, Certificate in Regulated Equity Release (CeRER), Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA), Advanced DipFA (AdvDipFA), Pension Transfers (PETR) and Certified Documentary Credit Specialist (CDCS), but we are happy to consider applications for other awards in our professional qualifications framework.


We are the awarding body for our industry benchmark banking and finance qualifications and this is reflected in the high standard of our ALSPs. Becoming accredited will help build a positive reputation and credibility that help students decide which external training provider to use.


*Please note that ALSP applications for CeMAP learning support are currently closed.
