Our Credentials

Quality Assurance

The Online Business School operates to the highest academic standards and has a structure in place that ensures the highest quality standards.
All materials are designed and written by professional academic authors so that each interactive module is aligned against specific learning outcomes specified by OFQUAL the defining Government body for academic standards in UK higher education. This ensures those that learn with us are receiving the highest quality of  study materials, and that the Level is recognised by UK universities among other institutions.
The final assignments pull together all the learning  and experience gained from the course. The entire programme is accredited by ATHE, a government recognised examining and awarding body for business and management students who are successful partners with many leading universities.
On completion of the final assignments, students are awarded a formal recognised qualification which is accepted by a range of  UK universities as partial exemption from various BA and MBA programmes.

Quality Monitoring Board

Online Business School also operates a Quality Monitoring Board (QMB). This board meets regularly to assess;
  • Specific student issues
  • Any quality issues for university partners
  • Monitoring of assessment standards
  • Monitoring of material content against learning outcomes
  • Specific operational issues as they affect quality and customer service
The Board Members comprise respected academic and business leaders.Outcomes of the reviews are shared online to ensure transparency and understanding amongst our partners and students. All feedback is welcomed so that issues can be formally raised via the QMB in a professional and objective manner.

Other Development Products and Programmes

Personalise your study with our flexible module packages.

Keeping study entirely flexible, learners can purchase a selection of modules on a range of specific subjects for personal development. It is important to understand that all modules in the various programmes need not be purchased together or at the same time, modules can be studied as decided by the student. This gives learners the opportunity to develop their own bespoke learning programme by choosing a selection of modules.
Our modules are self contained educational programmes dedicated to teaching a specific range of skills, the modules are also designed to articulate against QCF learning outcomes and thereby University progression routes. However the modules are also written against skills based outcomes which can be used as personal development programmes in specific areas. In this case the assessments do not need to be taken and the modules are therefore used purely as personal improvement programmes.
