UK higher education has a hard-earned reputation and is known worldwide for its exceptional quality of education and demanding academic standards. We adhere to the QAA Code of practice, which provides a framework so that the universities and colleges can affectively attain high standards and quality of education. The Code of practice provides a wide range of guidelines to deal with each kind of issue that may propagate and is organized into sections for ease of search. Some of the sections deal directly with our courses and the other sections have characteristics and guidance that have a great influence on the standard of education and quality of courses, but the quality is assured and managed by the university or college functioning as a whole unit.

SIRM has met the expectations of the quality of education, oversight by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (Private Further Education). To view our 2021 Educational Oversight report, please click here.

In 1981, the Northern Advisory Council for Further Education (NACFE), which was established in 1947 to coordinate further education provision throughout the nine LEAs, merged with the NCTEC to become the Northern Council for Further Education.

When the further education sector was incorporated (made independent of the government) in the early 1990s the company felt the old name was incompatible with our new national focus and has since then been identified simply as NCFE with the letters no longer being an acronym.

NCFE today is a national awarding organisation, offering over 500 qualifications at different levels and in a wide range of subject areas. NCFE recognise the skills, knowledge and understanding achieved by a learner at a particular level and in a particular subject.
