Ofqual
The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) announced in November 2016 that it would be voluntarily surrendering its status as an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation this summer. From 18 August 2017 no qualifications offered by CIEH are regulated by us, and their details no longer appear on our register. A full list of currently recognised awarding organisations and regulated qualifications can be found on the Register of Regulated Qualifications.
Awarding organisations that are recognised by us must continually meet the rules that apply to them. One of the benefits of this regulation is that it provides a level of assurance to learners and those who depend on regulated qualifications to ensure they continue to be valid and fit for purpose. It is, however, for individual awarding organisations to decide whether Ofqual recognition is appropriate for them.
