Qualifications

Awarding bodies and the catalogue

Agree what an award is before you start putting it on people.

Awarding-body identity connected to a qualification catalogue of codes, levels and delivery methods.

How it helps

Awarding bodies and the catalogue

Agree what an award is before you start putting it on people. One catalogue means two colleagues are not describing the same qualification in two different ways.

See what is still in use before you retire something — so you do not delete an award learners still depend on.

Why it matters

What your team gains

The outcomes your team gains from this part of Afanor — written for training administrators, not database designers.

A catalogue the whole team trusts

  • Awarding bodies with the identity and contact details you need
  • Qualifications with codes, levels, descriptions and how they are delivered
  • Types with renewal rules that drive plans and reminders

Governance without guesswork

  • See how many learners currently hold each qualification
  • Retire awards safely when they are no longer offered
  • Keep delivery methods as a list you maintain to match how you work

Write the policy once, then let plans and reminders follow it.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about awarding bodies and the catalogue

Can we maintain our own catalogue?

Yes. Awarding bodies, types of qualification, the qualifications themselves and how they are delivered are all things you manage.

Does this stay with the learner?

Yes. The award is part of the same person you already know from CRM and training, not a separate tracker.

Works alongside

What sits next to qualifications

These parts of Afanor share the same people, so you are not starting again in another tool.

Training

From the plan on the wall to the people in the room

Schedule the course, check learners in, run the quiz and follow up before a qualification lapses — without starting again in another tool.

CRM

One place to know every learner

Stop keeping people in one spreadsheet and employers in another. Afanor holds who they are, how to reach them, and what still needs doing.

Reporting
