Regulated Qualifications & Accreditation
As the complementary therapy industry moves toward compulsory regulation, the importance of holding OFQUAL-accredited qualifications has never been greater. OFQUAL (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) ensures that training programs meet national standards, providing you with a qualification that is recognised and respected across the industry.
By choosing an OFQUAL-accredited course, you are not only gaining valuable knowledge and practical skills but also ensuring that your qualification will be legally recognised when regulation becomes mandatory. These qualifications prepare you to meet the evolving requirements of the industry, giving you the confidence and credibility to practice professionally and ethically.
In addition to meeting regulatory standards, OFQUAL-accredited qualifications significantly enhance your career prospects. Employers, professional bodies, and insurance companies increasingly require formal, regulated qualifications as a benchmark of competency. Whether you’re seeking to expand your career opportunities, attract more clients, or start your own practice, an accredited qualification is essential for standing out in a competitive field.
