Whether you contact us by phone or email, our team aims to respond quickly, clearly, and with care. Every enquiry is important to us, and we work hard to ensure that our responses are accurate, helpful, and timely.
We welcome feedback from all our centres. Your comments and suggestions help us improve our services and maintain the high standards expected of a regulated awarding body. ProQual continuously reviews and improves its systems and services to remain compliant, accessible, and customer centred.
Working with Our Approved Centres
ProQual works closely with approved centres to support the development, delivery, and recognition of regulated qualifications across industries. We work in partnership with centres, providing clear guidance, consistent communication, and accessible support at every stage.
We aim to respond positively and promptly to all enquiries, keeping centres informed of progress and decisions. Our team provides current information on qualification delivery, assessment, and quality assurance, and ensures that all fees and requirements are transparent and easy to understand.
We also offer regular opportunities for discussion and collaboration to share best practice and maintain high standards across our network.
