AIM & Highfield Accreditations
AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group is a leading Awarding Organisation (AO) offering award-winning qualifications and nominated end-point assessment services.
The organisation is built on the pillars of inclusion, integrity, respect and empowerment with the vision of empowering the futures of ever-increasing numbers of learners.
AIM has over thirty years’ experience developing high-quality qualifications that meet the needs of employers and learners.
They approve the centres (colleges, training providers etc) that deliver their qualifications and work closely with us to ensure high quality delivery so that they can certify our successful learners.
AIM is regulated by Ofqual, CCEA, Qualifications Wales and the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) to ensure they maintain quality standards in their delivery and provision.
Highfield are a global leader in compliance, work-based learning, accredited and apprenticeship qualifications and one of the UK’s most recognisable awarding organisations.
As such they are regulated by Ofqual, Qualifications Wales, SQA Accreditation, the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), and the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
In addition to this, they are also a government-regulated end-point assessment organisation (EPAO) and the current EPAO of the Year, as well as a 2024 King’s Award for Enterprise winner.
As an awarding organisation they’ve developed 600+ qualifications designed to enhance the career prospects of learners.
There are currently over 45,000 approved trainers and training providers spread across over 100 countries, with over 550,000 Highfield certificates awarded each year.
They cover multiple sectors such as retail, health and social care, finance, customer service, rail and engineering, hospitality, logistics, aviation and many more.
How do we achieve these accreditations?
We are audited every 12 months, so you can be confident that these high standards are constantly being met and maintained. Accreditation is only granted when the criteria are met in the following areas:
- Administration (course bookings, resources, etc)
- Instructors (management, qualifications etc)
- General (policies, insurance etc)
- Data protection requirements
- Facilities and training resources
Using an AIM or Highfield Accredited centres means that your course with us will be a high quality, well organised and worthwhile investment of your time.
They are also regulated by Ofqual, so you can be assured of a consistant high quality of training.
But beyond that, we aim to reassure all learners with us that we are dedicated to providing you with skills that can really make a difference to your career aspirations.
