Our Badge of Excellence is a quality assurance mark for your training or development programme.

It ensures that all your learning activities (not just regulated qualifications) are nationally recognised.

Perfect for a range of training experiences, our Badge of Excellence helps your learners demonstrate their skills and celebrate their achievements. 

The image is a process flow diagram titled "what is the Badge of Excellence process?" in bold white text against a textured purple background. It illustrates four steps, each contained within a rounded white rectangle with a heading in purple and descriptive text in black: application form: "A simple form where you provide evidence of session plans, meaningful outcomes and quality assurance." quality checks: "We complete quality checks on your evidence and provide you with development support." programme approval: "Your programme is approved. You've demonstrated that your programme meets Open Awards Standards of Excellence for delivery and outcomes." certification: "Upon completion, learners will have their attendance formally certificated."
The image features a textured purple background with abstract orange curved lines along the top and left edges. The main title, "your badge demonstrates excellence," is in bold, dark purple and orange text. Below the title, there are two rows of three rounded white squares, each containing an icon and a phrase in dark purple text: Top Row (left to right): A pencil icon with "continuous improvement" A medal icon with "achievement and progress" An outline of a person icon with "identifying learners" Bottom Row (left to right): A calendar icon with "staff and resources" A target with an arrow in the center icon with "objectives and purpose" A document with lines icon with "delivery and resources"

We can add our badge of approval to:

  • Face-to-face training
  • Group activities
  • Community projects
  • Distance learning
  • E-learning
  • Work placements
  • Continued professional development

In line with Open Awards’ mission to change lives through learning, the Badge of Excellence quality mark assures the training and learning activities, rather than accrediting the learners themselves.
