Accreditation Activities
What is accreditation?
Accreditation is the process through which Programme Leaders/ Department Heads achieve recognition as accurate assessors, meaning that they are able to award marks for coursework/portfolio components without being subject to external moderation by the Awarding Body.
What is OSCA?
OSCA (Online Support for Centre-Assessors) is the Edexcel system which facilitates accreditation. It allows centres to develop understanding, receive feedback and demonstrate their ability to assess accurately.

*The ‘Programme Leader’ is defined as the individual with overall responsibility for the delivery of the portfolio assessment.
