asked Her Majesty's Government:

For which courses and qualifications they have approved or accredited the Citizenship Training School in Leyton. [HL4549]

Although it maintains a register of education and training providers, the Government do not accredit private schools and colleges for the provision of particular courses or qualifications. The register is intended for colleges which wish to recruit students from overseas and whose main purpose in the UK is to study. The Citizenship Training School in Leyton does not appear on the register.

The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator are responsible for accrediting and reviewing qualifications. The QCA also oversees the work of the awarding bodies which are responsible for developing, assessing and quality-assuring qualifications. For a college to be recognised as an assessment centre, it will need to satisfy the awarding body's criteria on the quality and security of its assessment regimes.
