Introduction

Recognised by universities and employers worldwide

Working with some of the world’s leading British academics and industry, the NCC Education qualification portfolio is continually expanding to align with the ever-growing needs of employers and higher education institutes alike.

We specialise in developing IT and Business qualifications from primary to postgraduate level. Our products include short courses, professional development, diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate qualifications.

NCC Education is regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) and has qualifications listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in England.

Why did NCC Education initially decide to invest in ISO?

We’re an international qualifications provider offering a mix of regulated and unregulated qualifications. We felt that a quality certification would help demonstrate that our unregulated qualifications are produced with the same commitment to quality as the regulated ones and that ISO 9001 would also help us as we seek to grow our market in the UK.

How will the certifications help your business?

Talking with Adrian, he explained that it helps demonstrate our commitment to quality in addition to the existing regulations for our sector and potentially opens up opportunities in the UK where ISO 9001 might be required for tendering.

Why did you initially opt for Compliant as your consultant?

After completing the initial audit, I took over ISO 9001 for our business, so I wasn’t involved in this decision. However, I believe a key factor was that you work with the British Assessment Bureau, and we felt the BAB branding would complement ours as a UK education company operating internationally.

Why did you stick with Compliant for ongoing support?

Adrian explains that the ongoing support is helpful to ensure we’re compliant each year and act on the feedback provided at the previous audit—mainly as our annual renewal occurs during a busy time of year. We’ve continued to get better results each year, culminating in this year, when we had no areas for improvement.

The Process

I’ve been working with Compliant for a few years, so we’re familiar with the process, and our staff is ready for me to start harassing them for documents every year!

I’ve found everyone I’ve dealt with at Compliant very professional and pleasant to deal with.

The Outcome

We passed with no areas for improvement this year.

We don’t feel like we need to follow any other standards. We’re happy to stick with ISO 9001, as we think it is the only one relevant to us.
