Ofqual regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England to ensure that all students receive the highest standard of education.

A University Collaboration Network (UCN) has been established which includes universities (See for instance Cardiff Metropolitan University) that guarantee acceptance of the Ofqual-prescribed Curriculum (as delivered by EduVisa) for university progression purposes (BBA-Hons & MBA/M.Sc.

EDUVISA UNIQUAL CERTIFICATION  

The IQF academic regulatory framework is a quality instrument utilised by EDUVISA that ensures that curriculum requirements, as laid down by UK-Ofqual map to the curriculum content and assessment standards associated with leading universities and business schools (University Top-Up). UniQual also monitors the integration of RQF (UK), SQF (Scotland), CHEA (USA), NQF (SA), AQF (Aus), EQF (EU) or alternative curriculum module components into the basic UK-Ofqual curriculum to prepare the learner/student for the specific business environment of his/her region of origin at undergraduate (BA, B.Sc., BBA-Hons) and post-graduate level (MBA, M.Sc.). This ensures that the learner/student is provided with a management qualification that is academically acceptable and professionally relevant on both a global and regional scale.

The EDUVISA Graduate Programme academic year consists of a Formative Theory (IQF) (Module Tests) curriculum component as well as an Applied Theory (RQF) curriculum component (Moderated Assignment Assessment). Completion of the Formative Theory (IQF) equips the student to complete the Applied Theory (RQF) phase that leads to an Ofqual-RQF qualification at Diploma (L4Dip.Man) (Bachelor 1^st Year) and Higher Diploma (L5HDip.Man) (Bachelor 2^nd Year) which again provides the student with access to the Bachelor Top-Up (Bachelor 3^rd Year) at a university or business school of choice (Mouse-click on Policy: Assessment Guidelines).

The IQF can be seen as a "generic curriculum benchmark" that guarantees that the student has in addition to a UK-orientated BBA/MBA Degree also incorporated curriculum components of both regional and international benchmark qualification frameworks and /or universities. It also positions the student to meet the requirements of employment agencies and employers, irrespective of where the student may find him/herself in the world. Qualification alignment also incorporates government-regulated award institutions like the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

FHEQ - UNIVERSITY FRAMEWORK  

The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications of UK Degree-awarding Bodies (FHEQ) includes guidelines for Higher Education (HE) (University) qualifications in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and in Scotland for Bachelor's Degrees. For Master's and Doctoral Degrees, the same guidelines apply across the UK, Europe and most countries that follow a similar qualification framework to the United Kingdom, including most Commonwealth Countries and English-speaking countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The following outline provides an overview of the interrelationship between some of the prominent international qualification frameworks:
