How Access to HE Diplomas Are Accredited
All Access to HE Diplomas are UK-accredited and validated by an Access Validating Agency, such as Ascentis, under the oversight of the QAA.
This accreditation guarantees that the diploma follows a recognised national framework.
Official Certification and How Points Are Awarded
When you finish your course, you receive an official certificate confirming your award. Your UCAS points are recorded on your UCAS profile, just like A Level results.
