What is an Approved Assessment Centre (AAC)?

The AAC is the organisation that is approved by Sports Leaders UK to deliver its qualifications, which may include schools, colleges, local authorities, prisons, youth and community groups.

To become an AAC, an organisation must demonstrate that they have appropriately trained staff to manage the delivery, assessment and verification of all courses. A centre must also have an organised administration system to maintain Sports Leaders UK standards for quality assurance purposes.

The regulatory authorities of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) will audit Sports Leaders UK to ensure that agreed quality assurance standards are being implemented and maintained. In turn, Sports Leaders UK must ensure that all AAC's have the resources and training to understand their responsibilities to Sports Leaders UK and to the learners undertaking qualifications at their centre.
