Develop a new course
Start with the people you want to teach and the skills they should gain. We can help turn your idea into a syllabus and an assessment plan.
Course Request & Qualification Development
Let’s build your next course.
Tell us about a course you want to create, improve or put forward for validation. We’ll help you work out what’s needed and what to do next.
What would you like to do?
Update an existing course
Bring your current syllabus and assessments. We can help identify gaps in the content, assessment or evidence you need.
Explore validation
Discuss the framework, awarding organisation or endorsement route that may fit your programme and what a submission would involve.
We work with colleges, universities, training providers and professional bodies across subjects such as business, education, digital skills and wellness.
How we’ll work together
-
Step 1
Tell us what you have in mind
Share your audience, goals, any existing materials and your preferred launch date.
-
Step 2
Agree the scope and costs
We review what you have and outline the work, responsibilities, fees and expected timetable.
-
Step 3
Develop and review the course
We agree which materials to prepare, such as learning outcomes, modules, study hours, assessments and quality assurance evidence.
-
Step 4
Prepare for validation or launch
If external approval is part of the plan, we help prepare the submission and respond to questions. The reviewing organisation makes the approval decision.
The published guide estimates 3–6 weeks for drafting and the quality assurance pack, and 4–8 weeks for external validation where required. Confirm timing and costs when you agree the scope.
What you can ask us to prepare
Depending on the scope, we can help with a syllabus, an assessment plan, mapping to a qualification level, and templates for admissions, moderation and appeals.
