It\u2019s a registered educational charity that has been dedicated to learning for over 150 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;NCFE is recognised as an awarding organisation by the qualification regulators for England,&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;and Northern Ireland, including\u202fOfqual, the\u202fWelsh government, and the\u202fCCEA\u202fin Northern Ireland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&nbsp;Does NCFE&nbsp;Stand&nbsp;For?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NCFE originally stood for Northern Council for Further Education, but it dropped the full name in the 1990s, as it no longer accurately reflected the company\u2019s growing national focus. Now the company is known\u202fsimply as NCFE. It\u2019s the UK\u2019s longest established awarding body, as well as one of the UK\u2019s&nbsp;fastest-growing. This&nbsp;means&nbsp;the NCFE&nbsp;is highly respected for its professionalism and quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stonebridge.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Study-Online-with-Stonebridge-Colleges.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stonebridge.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Study-Online-with-Stonebridge-Colleges.jpg\" alt=\"Study an online course with Stonebridge Colleges\" class=\"wp-image-29027\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why&nbsp;Should&nbsp;You&nbsp;Care?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;NCFE\u2019s role as an awarding body means that\u202fit spends time independently accrediting courses that are designed and delivered by third parties, including distance education providers.
