What are Quality Endorsed Units?

Quality Endorsed Units are non-regulated units that providers can combine to create bespoke courses for their learners. 

They allow providers to create courses that tick all of their learners’ boxes and gain recognition at the same time.

At Open Awards, providers can create their courses by either:

  • Using existing units from our Quality Endorsed Unit bank
  • Working with us to develop bespoke Quality Endorsed Units
