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) overleaf.  

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.
