effectively deliver the endorsed programme.
We will comply with all relevant laws in relation to delivery of the endorsed
programme, including any local laws covering health and safety, equality and
diversity, accessibility and data protection.
We will take all reasonable steps to prevent incidents of malpractice and
maladministration from occurring.
We accept that Skills CFA can in no way be held responsible for any
infringements on any third party’s or intellectual property rights or any incurred
costs related to any infringements.
We agree to pay all valid invoices presented by Skills CFA within 30 days of the
date of invoice.
We agree that failure to pay all valid invoices presented by Skills CFA within 30
days of the date of invoice may result in the withdrawal of Skills CFA
endorsement.
We agree that the programme review fees are payable regardless of whether
Skills CFA agree to provide endorsement or not, since they cover the costs of
programme review.
We agree to pay Skills CFA a non-refundable programme review fee of £350 £725 per programme for the review of programme content and materials, in
advance of endorsement being agreed.
We agree to pay Skills CFA a non-refundable renewal fee of £200 per annum if

We agree to not act in any way that is likely to mislead or misinform potential
or actual learners as to the nature of the endorsed programme or the
endorsement itself. This includes not referring to any endorsed programme as a
qualification unless it is accredited by a qualifications regulating body or
validating body in the country in which it is delivered.
We agree to inform Skills CFA when a significant portion (>25%) or element of
the endorsed programme is changed. We accept that programme changes may
lead to the withdrawal of endorsement if they are deemed by Skills CFA to
materially affect the programme.
We will ensure that all third parties and subcontractors involved in the delivery
of the endorsed programme are managed in such a way as to ensure the above
