Discovery & scoping
We start by understanding the role, the sector, and the outcomes you need. Workshops with employers and subject experts help us shape the right qualification size, level and focus.
Qualification Development

HOW WE BUILD QUALIFICATIONS
Qualifications designed by experts, built around your sector
Every ProQual qualification starts with a real industry need. Our development team works hand-in-hand with employers, training providers and subject specialists to make sure each qualification reflects current practice, meets regulatory expectations and gives learners genuinely useful skills.
Whether you need a regulated qualification on the RQF, a custom programme for your organisation, or a fast-turnaround update to an existing standard, we have a proven process and a team that takes ownership from the first conversation to certification.
Our development process
A clear, six-stage process that keeps centres, employers and learners at the heart of every qualification.
Research & benchmarking
We map existing standards, occupational frameworks and sector requirements to ensure the new qualification is current, credible and benchmarked against the best of the field.
Design & writing
Our specialists draft the structure, units, learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Each unit is reviewed by an independent subject expert before going any further.
Assessment design
We build assessment strategies that are fair, valid and practical for centres to deliver — from portfolio evidence through to practical observation, knowledge tests and professional discussions.
Quality assurance & approval
Internal QA, external technical review and (where applicable) regulator approval make sure the qualification is robust before it goes live. Our governance team manages the regulatory submission for you.
Launch & ongoing review
Centre support materials, EQA briefings and a published specification get everything ready for delivery. We then review the qualification regularly to keep it aligned with the sector.
