International
GA qualifications are valid, trusted and accepted by employers, colleges and universities, as well as government authorities and institutions worldwide.
International Partnerships
Gatehouse Awards works closely with partners around the world to promote, deliver and award high quality qualifications. There are different ways in which your organisation can work with Gatehouse Awards internationally.
Country Representative
Would you like to represent Gatehouse Awards in the country where you operate? Do you have an established presence and are you willing to introduce our qualifications to the market? Contact us today and we will arrange a call or online meeting.
International Approved Centre
Are you a smaller organisation which is interested in offering our qualifications and exams? Contact us today to find out whether you should apply directly to GA UK or one of our existing country representatives.
Distributor of GA Qualifications
Some of our qualifications can be delivered 100% online via GA-issued teaching, learning and assessment materials, and are fully externally assessed. This means that your centre can act as a reseller to offer ready-made course packages without needing to meet the requirements for internal staff and resources. Contact us today to find out more about this option.
Quality Endorsement Scheme
Have you already developed your own training programme and would like to work with us to ensure that it is of the highest standard? The GA Quality Endorsement Scheme (QES) is a flexible option for providers of high-quality training programmes which don’t require a regulated qualification.
