TVET UK Delivery Method

UKeU is the global implementer of TVET UK, in partnership with the Ofqual UK.Gov Awarding Bodies.

All TVET UK training programs are delivered using a combined automated training model that includes:

  • Optimized Online Learning System: Designed to enhance the self-study process.
  • Bite-Sized Lectures: Lessons are structured in short, manageable modules, enabling students to grasp the content immediately after completing each module.
  • Comprehensive Support System: Provides students with the necessary tools and support to efficiently fulfill course requirements.

Local support partners are solely responsible for implementing academic support activities (if any) that assist students' learning processes in collaboration with UKeU. They do not influence final course outcomes or graduation results. Academic decisions and the awarding of qualifications are the exclusive responsibility of UKeU, their partners, and partner universities (in multiple qualification programs).

Content published and Training scope

After completing the educational content and fulfilling all obligations, including adhering to academic discipline and integrity, students will have their learning process recognized and will be awarded qualifications by UKeU and the Ofqual UK.Gov Awarding Bodies (OTHM, Qualifi). In the case of dual degrees or collaborative programs, students may also receive an additional diploma or certification from the partner institution. Further details are provided in the Disclaimer section below.

Each country, institution, and region has different regulations regarding the recognition of educational processes and qualifications. In accordance with international practice, the recognition or acceptance of diplomas is a subjective decision made by the receiving agency, the government, or based on regional policies within each country.

Graduation Ceremony

With the flexible learning model, UKeU and TVET UK attract students from diverse regions and countries worldwide.

In practice, students often face challenges in obtaining visas and securing the privilege to travel to UK for the graduation ceremony, significantly impacting both the organizational aspects and the applicants. Although having the right to attend the ceremony, a considerable number of graduating students were absent.

As a result, UKeU has decided not to organize the graduation ceremony for online students in UK since 2024. Instead, the plan is to work together with local partners to arrange separate graduation ceremonies for each region. In these cases, a specially assigned representative from UKeU will travel to the respective region to present the diplomas.

Visiting the campus, city campus, or e-campus in UK or any other country is allowed for relatives of full-time students only.

UKeU reserves the right to approve or deny the request, taking into consideration its work schedule and human resources plan.
