AIM Approved follows the same structure as a regulated qualification (including units, learning outcomes, and assessments), but sits outside of Ofqual regulation.
That means it’s faster to approve, highly flexible, and still meets the same high standards.
– 7,997 learners studied and were certified with AIM Approved in 2023/24
Our specialist team will review and evaluate your training course and develop this within a formal accreditation framework at the appropriate level.
This ensures that your course programme has measurable learning outcomes and associated assessment criteria, which have been benchmarked against national frameworks and meet national awarding organisation standards.
We will provide you with a dedicated and secure online portal to effectively manage all your learner registrations and achievements.
Following successful completion of your accredited course, we will produce and issue your learners with an AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group certificate of achievement, which demonstrates the new skills, knowledge and competencies they have gained.
By developing training programmes that are delivered to nationally recognised standards, our accreditation services can give you the edge to set you apart from your competitors and help raise your profile within the sector you operate.
The delivery of a high-quality accredited training programme will help improve employee motivation and productivity, which is such a key factor for business success. It also supports internal progression and continuous professional development.
Also, through our highly responsive and flexible service, we can help you to react quickly to the ever-changing needs of your industry.
Virtually any learning experience, outside of the scope of regulated provision, can be accredited providing there are assessments in place to demonstrate that the learner has met the required level of the learning outcomes.
We have a highly flexible approach to assessment methods and can provide dedicated support, resources and training to ensure your assessment approach is fit for purpose.
Some examples of assessments which can be used include:
Accrediting a course or particular programme of learning with AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group is a simple and straightforward process. We allocate each organisation a dedicated business development manager and product developer who will guide and support you at every stage.

New flexibilities in the government’s Adult Skills Fund for 2024-2025, means that non-regulated, tailored learning provision such as AIM’s Bespoke Accreditation, now qualifies for funding.
