To offer an Edexcel NVQ qualification, you will need to obtain centre and qualification approval. 

To start the process of becoming an Edexcel accredited centre, simply complete an Expression of Interest form. A member of the Work-based Learning team will then contact you to discuss becoming an accredited Edexcel centre.

If you are already an Edexcel centre, and wish to gain accreditation to offer NVQs, you will need to complete the centre approval form NVQ CA (below).

If you are already an accredited NVQ centre wishing to offer additional NVQs, you will need to complete the qualification approval form NVQ QA (below).

You should complete the relevant sections of each of these forms according to the type of category your application falls under. The category types are explained within the body of each form. Each form contains detailed instructions about the form completion and the additional information that you will need to supply.
