To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to compel the Office for Students to increase transparency through the publication of a Register of Validating Providers.

Answered on

22 March 2022

The Office for Students (OfS) Register provides information on which registered providers offer validated provision, and which registered providers offer validating services.

We are expecting the OfS to consider a review of the validation system in the coming financial year and expect that review to consider the case for intervention in the validation system in order to increase the availability of high-quality courses across England.
