Qualification Approval
Three Steps to Become Approved to Deliver an Additional Qualification
If you’re already a 1st4sport recognised centre and would like to add to your qualification provision, you need to complete this three-step process
There are plenty of qualifications to choose from!
Take your pick from the range of vocational, professional and technical qualifications by visiting the Qualifications section of our website.
Don’t forget: before applying, please make sure you have read the qualification(s) specification and can provide proof that your staff and resources match the requirements before.
This will include identifying named staff for key delivery roles on each qualification. Your EQA will check this during your subsequent EQA visits, so make sure it is current and relevant for the delivery plan.
You can submit an application for more than one qualification at the same time, but you must be able to evidence the specific requirements for each one.
You can access the application form and complete it through the 'Compliance' tab in the centre portal. Once you have completed this application, you need to send it to us by clicking the submit button.
Supporting documentation of how your workforce and resources meet the requirements outlined in the qualification specification should be uploaded to your 'Centre Documents' also within the portal.
We will then review your application to ensure that you will be able to meet the requirements of the qualification delivery.
We aim to review applications within five working days of receipt.
If we require additional information, we will contact you via email.
Once we have reviewed your application, we will confirm the approval decision by email and we will close the application within the system, confirming ‘approval granted’ or ‘approval declined’.
If approved, the qualification will be available on the Centre Portal for you to register learners for and begin delivering.
If your approval is declined, you will be given feedback to explain why. If you later decide to reapply and have been able to act on the comments, the qualification approval procedure will begin again.
