Awarding Bodies

At EDAS we work with a number of awarding bodies and partnerships to ensure that our courses are of the highest quality and provide you with the skills and accredited certification you need to succeed in your chosen area of study.

We have partnered with the following organisations to bring you the best value from your course and additional benefits whilst studying and upon completion of your course.

Ascentis

Ascentis was established in 1975 as a partnership scheme between Universities and Colleges of further education. It was the very first “Open College” and its initial aim was to provide innovative Access to Higher Education Qualifications for adult learners. Membership has increased significantly over the years and the portfolio of qualifications has expanded to include a wide range of curriculum areas.

The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM)

New-ILM-logo-jpeg-300x290.jpgThe Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) purpose is to enable people and organisations to develop their leadership skills for personal and economic growth. ILM do this by designing qualifications that develop, assess and accredit leaders with the right blend of skills.

Investing in your professional development sets you apart, demonstrating drive and dedication to your career. Earning an ILM qualification is a great commitment to make and highly sought after by employers, due to the focus on providing real value for real people.  Many qualifications are far removed from the real world of work to have any real impact on your career. ILM qualifications are different, as they focus on practical skills which can be implemented in the workplace and can instantly improve your prospects for a management position.

The ILM qualifications that EDAS delivers have been government approved and are recognised as high quality certifications.

CPD-Logo-2018-PNG-300x298.pngThe CPD Standards Office (CPDSO)

Continuing professional development (CPD) is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee’s job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.

CPD obligations are present in most professions. Most companies and organisations now prioritise them because they ensure a constantly developing workforce.

Structured CPD gives employees a clear path to success within their current role and progression to future ones. Employees in regulated industries (e.g. healthcare, accountancy, legal work) can lose their license to operate if they don’t maintain their CPD.

Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH)
