What does QAA stand for?

QAA stands for the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. This Government-funded agency plays a critical role in safeguarding quality and maintaining academic standards within UK colleges and universities. Its main objective is to ensure that students across the United Kingdom have access to the best possible learning experience.

The QAA achieves this by monitoring and reviewing higher education providers, setting benchmarks for academic standards, and offering guidance on best practice in teaching, learning, and assessment. Universities and colleges that meet the QAA’s high standards are recognised as offering reputable and trustworthy educational programmes.

At Academy Online Learning, our Access to Higher Education (HE) Diplomas are fully recognised by the QAA, ensuring that you receive a qualification that is trusted and respected by UK universities. Studying with us means you can be confident in the quality and credibility of your education, helping you on your path to higher education and future career success.
