ATHE accreditation
The standard behind ATHE endorsement
Where required, QedON develops programmes with ATHE endorsement. ATHE is an independent UK awarding body regulated by Ofqual.
The awarding body
What is ATHE?
ATHE (Awards for Training and Higher Education) is a globally recognised awarding organisation, regulated by Ofqual in the UK.
Our approach
QedON and ATHE
For organisations that choose ATHE endorsement, the course is built to meet ATHE's required standard from the design stage onward, so the endorsement reflects the whole build process. Not every QedON course carries ATHE endorsement; it's available where an organisation's requirements call for it.
Where it applies, every course follows the same four-step process:
- Design
- Build to standard
- Review
- Endorsement where required
