Validation service

NTU has a number collaborative partners, many of which have been awarded validated centre status (previously called delegated centre collaborative provision).

A validated centre is an institution which is approved to offer one or more specified awards and where the institution has developed quality assurance and supporting institutional systems to ensure the standard of the award on an annual basis. The University retains responsibility for the approval of modifications to existing courses, introduction of new courses and provides substantial input into the quality assurance processes underpinning the courses of study offered.

Students studying and successfully passing a validated course at one of our validated centres will be awarded a Nottingham Trent University certificate. Further details of the relationship are covered in the FAQ section.

The Collaborative Partnerships Office (CPO) manages the validated service arrangements and is the central point of contact for all validated centres.
