Frequently Asked Questions
Are Gateway Qualifications regulated?

Yes. Our qualifications are  Ofqual-regulated and our Access to HE Diplomas are recognised by the QAA. Many of our qualifications are part of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which helps ensure quality, consistency and national recognition.

What qualifications does Gateway Qualifications offer?

Gateway Qualifications offers Ofqual-regulated and Qualifications Wales-approved qualifications, alongside QAA-recognised Access to HE Diplomas, across a wide range of subject areas. These include English and maths, ESOL, employability and enterprise, vocational learning, personal and social development, professional development, digital skills, and Access to Higher Education.

Who can deliver Gateway Qualifications?

Recognised Centres deliver our qualification. They include FE colleges, independent training providers, adult and community learning services, employers delivering qualifications to their staff, and prison education providers.

What is the difference between a qualification and bespoke accreditation?

Qualifications are regulated by Ofqual, Qualifications Wales, or the QAA (for Access to HE Diplomas). They are developed against defined standards, have approved specifications, and lead to nationally recognised certification.

Bespoke accreditation is non-regulated. It recognises an organisation’s own training or learning programme when it does not align with an existing regulated qualification. Bespoke accreditation can be achieved through a Quality Mark or a Tailored Qualification, providing formal recognition of learning without becoming a regulated qualification. Bespoke accreditation must not be promoted or advertised as a regulated qualification.

Are qualifications from Gateway Qualifications funded?

Funding depends on the qualification and the relevant funding body. Gateway Qualifications is not a funding body. We provide funding guidance and updates to our Recognised Centres, while each Centre is responsible for managing its own funding claims. For more information about funding eligibility and support, please visit our funding page.
