Recognised Centres delivering Gateway Qualifications provision must have measures in place to ensure they remain compliant with our conditions of recognition.

This section provides information and resources to help you remain compliant and reduce the risk of maladministration and malpractice events.

Tips to reduce incorrect registrations and claims

To maintain the integrity of our qualifications and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, it is essential that all learner registrations and submitted claims are accurate.

To reduce the risk of incorrect registrations or claims at your Centre and to help avoid additional costs and recorded maladministration, it is best practice to take a holistic, end-to-end approach to the process.

We recommend implementing a Centre-agreed, fully documented internal procedure tailored to your operations, covering things such as:

  • Who is responsible for each task and monitoring activity
  • Defined roles and responsibilities
  • Key timings for actions to be completed
  • Checks and controls in place throughout the process

You can use our checklist below to help mitigate incorrect registrations and claims and avoid maladministration events.
