Accredited providers can now complete this year's annual review. The review confirms that accredited activities are still delivered as described in the original submission.
The annual review window is now open. Every accredited provider completes a review each year, confirming that the learning activities on their accreditation are still delivered as described in the submission we assessed.
The review asks for confirmation of three things: that the learning outcomes and delivery method have not materially changed, that the evidence of learner assessment is still being retained, and that the accreditation mark is being displayed in line with the published rules.
Where an activity has changed materially, it is treated as a variation rather than a review. Variations are assessed against the outcomes affected by the change rather than the whole activity.
Providers who do not complete the review within the window have their entry on the register marked as under review until the outstanding information is supplied.

New guidance explains the evidence assessors look for when a learning activity is delivered asynchronously, and how completion is distinguished from achievement.
Register search now covers learning activity titles
The accredited provider register can now be searched by learning activity title and by accreditation reference, not only by provider name.
