Codes of practice lay down agreed principles, processes and practices that must be followed by the organisations developing and delivering accredited qualifications. The regulators work with awarding organisations to make sure that codes are clear, precise and practical.

The codes ensure that all candidates are treated fairly, irrespective of the qualification they are taking, the awarding organisation that is offering the qualification, or when they are assessed. By providing a basis for high standards in all aspects of the assessment process, the codes make an important contribution to maintaining public confidence in qualifications.
