Chartered status for further education institutions

The consultation seeks views on proposals aiming to:

• enhance the reputation of the sector
• demonstrate where and how colleges and training providers are being responsive to the employers and communities in their area
• measure and demonstrate increased quality
• help prospective learners and the UK Border Agency recognise legitimate further education (FE) colleges and training providers

These proposals draw on the views of a sector working group. Through this consultation we seek the views of the wider FE sector to help shape and develop proposals.
