Our Qualifications Framework

All Apex Awards UK qualifications sit within the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). The RQF is the system for recognising qualifications in England and is regulated to ensure they meet consistent standards of quality and rigour.

Qualifications range from Level 2 through to Level 5 and are assessed through a Portfolio of Evidence, allowing learners to demonstrate competence through real work examples collected over time. This approach is particularly well-suited to working professionals who wish to gain recognition for existing skills and knowledge.
