What is NCFE CACHE Accrediation?

NCFE CACHE, or the Council for Awards in Care, Health, and Education, is an organization that offers qualifications in technical and vocational learning. CACHE has developed qualifications of excellence for over 70 years and with more than 1,000 UK-based and overseas delivery partners.

All NCFE CACHE qualifications are divided into five different levels, ranging from Level 1 (entry-level) to Level 5 (for experienced professionals). This qualification has been accredited as a Level 4 Customised Qualification and we have benchmarked the qualification’s learning outcomes and assessment criteria at Level (using a national framework’s level descriptors) to allow you to demonstrate the difficulty and depth of study.

NCFE is an awarding organisation recognised by the qualification regulators for England (Ofqual), Wales (Qualifications Wales) and Northern Ireland (CCEA Regulation). Our qualification has been developed to meet the specific needs of our learners and has been accredited by NCFE demonstrating the quality and rigor. This is an unregulated qualification and is not a nationally recognised qualification.

You can verify the Nanny Institute’s level 4 accreditation on the CACHE website.
