Centres

Learning Centres are on the front lines of developing critically-important skilled and productive workforces. You are the ones who understand the priorities and the needs of the learners who walk through your doors.

FSBL shares your commitment to helping motivated learners become the dynamic workforce of the future. We work with our centres to assure you have the support and tools you need to achieve your important mission.

FSBL will accept your learners and recognise prior learning (RPL) either from qualifications previously taken or evaluate credit form their workplace.

When you partner with FSBL to become an Approved Learning Centre, you receive these benefits:

To offer any FSBL qualification, you will need to obtain centre approval followed by qualification approval.

Although rigorous, our regulatory process follows a straightforward quality assurance route to deliver our qualifications. We assess that you have the staff expertise, sufficient resources and premises to meet these requirements. We have streamlined our timescale for centre approvals with the introduction of an initial online application process.

For more information please review the approval process here.

Once you apply for approval as a FSBL Centre, you will be visited by one of our representatives. This is a cooperative exercise that takes the form of an extended exchange of information. The aim of the visit is to gather information and evidence of your organisation’s attitudes and approach to the management of a FSBL approved centre.

Once you are an Approved FSBL Centre, you can be assured of responsive service for you and your learners, innovative learning solutions and the highest standards of quality and credibility.

In addition FSBL accredits programmes and courses provided by centres and organisations that are industry specific . We have a wide range of skills sectors available and partner with other awarding organisations to provide flexible solutions. Further information please contact us.

UK education and training standards are among the most rigorous in the world. That is why they are recognised worldwide.

FSBL welcomes global applications from centres, employers and learners. We have gained credit recognition for our qualifications in the USA and have the support of the British Council and BIS in developing worldwide links.
