Course Assurance

Ensure your training courses meet high standards

What is Course Assurance?

Course Assurance allows organisations to get their health and safety training courses independently verified.

At RoSPA Qualifications, we understand that quality assurance is fundamental to trusted learning. Our Course Assurance framework ensures that assured courses meet the highest standards, supporting centres to deliver training that is effective, consistent and impactful.

Why choose Course Assurance?

Every year, an estimated 2.93 million workers lose their lives due to work-related causes, while a further 395 million workers suffer non-fatal workplace injuries worldwide. In the UK alone, more than a million people are injured or made ill through work each year, costing the economy over £20 billion annually. 

Against this backdrop, the quality of health and safety training has never been more important. Course Assurance provides independent recognition that your training programme meets high standards of quality, relevance and delivery. Backed by RoSPA Qualifications - a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation and a trusted name in health and safety – our Course Assurance helps demonstrate your commitment to excellence while giving customers, employees and stakeholders greater confidence in your training. 

Course Assurance provides confidence that:

  • Course content is accurate, relevant and aligned with current best practice

  • Learning outcomes are pitched at the appropriate level for the intended audience

  • Trainers possess the necessary competence, knowledge and experience

  • Course design, delivery and assessment meet rigorous quality standards

  • Learners receive a high-quality training experience that supports meaningful outcomes.

What are the benefits?

By gaining Course Assurance, you can enhance your organisation's credibility, strengthen trust in your training provision and demonstrate a commitment to raising standards in workplace safety. 

For in-house training

  • Enhance the knowledge and skills of your workforce: Using training with assurance from a leading name in health, safety and road safety means you can be sure that your employees are being trained to the highest standards, which can help address skills gaps and future proof your organisation
  • Attract new and retain current employees: Assured in-house training can help attract and retain employees by showing how committed you are to investing in your staff
  • Deliver an exceptional customer experience: When your employees are trained to RoSPA Qualifications' exacting standards, they are better equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to perform confidently and safely. This helps enhance service quality, build customer trust, and deliver a consistently positive experience.

For training providers

  • Be recognised as a trusted training provider: Achieving RoSPA Qualifications Course Assurance demonstrates that your training has been independently reviewed against rigorous quality standards. It provides learners, employers and stakeholders with confidence in your courses, helping to strengthen your reputation and position your organisation as a trusted provider
  • Win more business and stand out from the competition: Promoting your courses with the exclusive RoSPA Qualifications Course Assured logo helps differentiate your offering in a crowded marketplace. By showcasing your commitment to quality and excellence, you can enhance your credibility, attract new customers and strengthen your position when bidding for contracts and tenders, particularly where recognised assurance is a requirement
  • Build confidence in your training: Course Assurance provides clear evidence that your training content, delivery and quality meet high standards. This reassurance can help increase delegate confidence, drive course uptake and demonstrate your commitment to delivering an exceptional learning experience.

How does Course Assurance work?

Through a comprehensive review process, we assess your course content, delivery methods and learning outcomes to ensure they meet our exacting requirements. Successful courses are awarded the prestigious RoSPA Qualifications Course Assured status – a recognised mark of quality and excellence. 

Your course will be assessed against a robust set of standards covering: 

  • Learning design and development
  • Technical accuracy and subject matter expertise
  • Quality assurance and compliance requirements
  • Trainer competence and course delivery. 

The entire process is managed through our dedicated online platform, providing a straightforward, efficient and fully transparent experience from application through to approval. 

Our Course Assurance programme is designed to support a wide range of training formats, including: 

E-learning

Webinars

Classroom presentations

On-site training

A recognised mark of quality

The RoSPA Qualifications Course Assured logo identifies courses that have successfully met our assurance standards. This trusted mark demonstrates to learners, employers and stakeholders that your training has been independently reviewed and recognised for its quality, relevance and effectiveness. 

Course Assurance is valid for two years, during which our Quality Assurance team will carry out ongoing monitoring activities and provide support and guidance to help maintain standards. At the end of the assurance period, courses can be re-submitted for review to ensure they continue to meet current requirements and best practice standards.

Example

The RoSPA Qualifications Course Assurance logo is used to indicate courses which currently meet RoSPA’s assurance standards.
