Application for fast track qualification approval
Fast track approval is a streamlined approval process for existing centres.  Typically, it is used when
•	a qualification is replaced or updated
•	approval for an N/SVQ would automatically entitle the centre to offer the corresponding VRQ.

The qualification(s) listed below indicate those you may currently offer that would now entitle you to fast track approval for the new qualification(s) listed adjacent to them. For example, offering the 1234/01 Level 1 NVQ in Floristry would entitle you to request fast track approval for the 5678/01 Level 1 NVQ in Floristry Studies as per below.

If you are unsure of your centre’s status regarding your eligibility for fast track approval, please contact your local office.  Once completed, please send this form to your local office.
