"Educational charity providing qualifications, assessment and learning support"
About NCFE
NCFE is an educational charity that designs, develops and certificates vocational and technical qualifications from Entry Level to Level 6. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, it works with over 4,500 schools, colleges, training providers and employers across England and Northern Ireland. Its specialisms include early years, education, health, social care, sport, active leisure and wellbeing.
Founded in 1848, NCFE certificates hundreds of thousands of learners each year. Its qualifications support progression into work, apprenticeships and further study, with T Levels and V Certs among its technical qualifications. The organisation also supports adults to retrain and upskill, connecting education and assessment with the skills employers need.
Learning and development
NCFE’s Project YOU provision includes two hours each month for work-related learning, support towards an NCFE qualification and coaching and mentoring through an internal team. Paid professional subscriptions are available where relevant to a colleague’s role.
Working across education
NCFE is regulated by Ofqual in England and recognised by Qualifications Wales and CCEA in Northern Ireland. Alongside qualifications, it works with partners on assessment innovation, including an Assessment Innovation Fund launched in 2021.
