Responding to conditions and final approval decision

In this stage

• We will support you to respond to the conditions we have set
• We will review your response to consider whether the issues identified through conditions have been addressed
• We will work with you if your first response does not sufficiently address the issues, through further quality activity of required
• We will come to final conclusions about the approval of your provision

We will update the report to cover the above, and will make a recommendation to our Education and Training Committee (ETC) to:

• Approve the programme(s)
• Not approve the programme(s)

The ETC will then:

• Review partner visitor findings of the process
• Consider any ‘observations’ you supply
• Decide on programme approval

Purpose of this stage

When we set conditions, education providers must show that they meet our requirements before approval can be granted to their institution and / or programme(s)

When we reach this stage, we ask providers to provide a submission which demonstrates how they meet conditions

We use this information to consider whether conditions are met, and whether any further quality activity is needed
