Quality & Accreditations
Quality is critical to everything we do at Cordie. As an award-winning and accredited independent training provider, all of our services centre on providing an excellent service to our learners and their Employers (our clients).
There are three main areas of our quality focus:
Safety and welfare
Learner safety is paramount for us. We take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and will always put safety, welfare and safeguarding first. You can access our Safeguarding Policy here.
If you have any safeguarding queries or concerns, or you would like to speak directly to one of our safeguarding team members, please use the the contact form below and we will contact you directly.
We also have an active Mental Health & Wellbeing Policy for all learners and staff, supported with educational resources and qualified Mental Health First Aiders to support you on your learning journey.
learner achievements
Delivering on learner outcomes and achievements is critical for our success, and we want you to be part of our success story. Our Quality Management Procedures are based on ISO 9001 principles and customised to meet the requirements of the UK Government’s Education Inspection Framework. You can access a copy of our Quality Policy here. We are proud to have been inspected by Ofsted and judged to be ‘good’ in all areas of our provision. This is the highest grading that any procurement apprenticeship provider in the UK has received.
You can access our latest Ofsted inspection report here:
We operate an annual process of self-assessment reporting on quality standards, combined with half-yearly reviews on quality improvement progress. This is championed at the highest level of our corporate governance.
In addition, Cordie maintains a number of key accreditations, such as the Matrix Standard for our provision of additional information, advice and guidance to all learners in support of their studies and their professional and personal development. You can read more about this accredited service here:
Cordie has been an approved study centre and provider of Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) qualifications since 2006. We have achieved the highest standard of their accreditations (a “Centre of Excellence”) for over 10 years for our outstanding learner achievements in terms of exam success and customer satisfaction.
We are proud of our exam successes (some of the highest pass-rates in the world), but also delight in broader learner achievements such as increased employability, personal development and career enhancement. Cordie is also an approved CIPS exam centre.
