Regulatory information

Our regulators

The Institute is regulated through a combination of quality frameworks and regulatory bodies. As a higher education provider, we are regulated by the Office for Students (OfS), who oversee quality, standards, governance, financial sustainability and compliance with the Conditions of Registration. The OfS granted the Institute full degree awarding powers in 2024, you can read the report here. 

The Institute also delivers a degree apprenticeship to some of our existing cohorts. Due to this, we are also subject to regulation by the Department for Education, particularly in relation to funding compliance, apprenticeship delivery rules and the use of levy funding. Ofsted also monitor the quality of degree apprenticeships and the Institute was graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2024, you can read this report here.
