Accreditation and Educational Oversight

The Home Office has registered Le Cordon Bleu London as a Student Route Visa Sponsor, which authorises our sponsorship of international students for a Student Route Visa. We hold accreditation from NCFE and the British Accreditation Council, and are subject to educational oversight by the Office for Students. Our qualifications are listed on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.

Office for Students

Scottish Qualifications Authority

Le Cordon Bleu qualifications have been independently credit-rated to sit on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). This gives assurance that the content of our qualifications are of a high standard, meeting the rigorous quality assurance requirements of a national awarding body.

NCFE
Some Le Cordon Bleu certificates and diplomas are accredited as “Customised Qualifications” by national awarding organisation NCFE. These bespoke qualifications are unique to Le Cordon Bleu and do not sit on a national framework. NCFE accreditation ensures that the qualifications have measurable learning outcomes benchmarked against the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) level descriptors.
