I am in process of procurement of further and higher education courses on corporate level for my company. Can anyone please advise what will be the best approach to cover the colleges and universities under coporate framework arrangements.

FE HE access
There is no central point as such, though there are associations such as the one for the MBA who acredit and quality assess members. All registered HE and FE courses are subject to quality assessment which is (usually) contingent upon their funding. It will depend upon whether you wish to use a geographical base for your training as in local, or are prepared to send students en bloc (my FE college in Bristol has students from all over the UK on corporate contracts). The marketing of HE and FE courses isn’t particularly sophisticated, which means a lot of digging around. Learn Direct is as good a place to start as any, as it will probably involve contacting and negotiating with heads of Faculty and/or Business Schools. The trick is to be specific about what you are looking for and specific about what you want from them and ask exactly how they plan to achieve it.

Try the Association of Colleges (AOC). I deal with Fiona MacKenzie f_mackenzie@aoc.co.uk
