Ofqual - Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator
Ofqual, the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator, is the new regulator of qualifications, tests and examinations in England. We ensure that children, young people and adult learners get the results their work deserves, that standards are maintained and that qualifications count now and in the future. We also make sure that the choice and range of qualifications available meet the needs of learners and employers.
The government will be bringing in legislation to establish Ofqual as the regulator of qualifications. Until this legislation is passed, Ofqual will operate as part of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Afterwards, the regulator will be accountable to parliament rather than to government ministers.
Ofqual also operates in Northern Ireland.
