Lifetime gains awarding status
Training provider Lifetime has been recognised as an official Awarding Organisation by Ofqual, the regulator of qualifications, exams and tests in England.
The company will now be able to submit full qualifications to the new Qualifications & Credit Framework (QCF) beyond 2010 under the name Lifetime Awarding.
According to Peta Hairsine, Lifetime Awarding organisation manager, the awarding arm was established following increasing need for 'fit for purpose' qualifications and work-ready recruits to enhance the quality and professionalism of the fitness industry and beyond.
Hairsine added: "By establishing ourselves as an industry-based awarding organisation, we will maintain the continuity of programme, brand and quality assurance of our awards for the benefit of all users."
Lifetime Awarding works in partnership with employers and operators to secure jobs in the health clubs, leisure centres, hotel fitness facilities and related outlets.
