Recognition & credentials

Four kinds of proof.

CURIOO continues to receive recognition for the quality of its curriculum and as a key driver of innovation in international education. Four kinds of proof, because they show different things: recognition says others have judged the work, standards say the curriculum is aligned to established frameworks, evidence says it is already used at scale, and outcomes say what happens as a result.

1 · Recognition · awards

Judged by people outside CURIOO.

Five independent programmes have recognised the curriculum or the company. Each is listed with the category we were recognised in, and nothing more than that.

1 · Recognition · accreditation

Teacher certification, independently accredited.

The Certificate in Teaching Secondary Entrepreneurship is awarded by CURIOO LIMITED and independently accredited by The CPD Certification Service, the UK body that assesses continuing professional development against its accreditation standards. Accreditation means the programme’s structure, learning outcomes and assessment have been reviewed by the Service, and that the six modules, approximately 12 CPD hours, count towards CPD requirements where a school recognises accredited CPD.

The credential is subject-specific: it certifies that a teacher can run a ten-week Entrepreneur Hub project with a real class, evidenced by the project run itself and assessed by a qualified CPD Trainer. Details and enrolment are on CURIOO Campus.

2 · Standards

What the curriculum is aligned to.

Each of the four Future Skills is mapped to a recognised international framework, level by level, from the first year to the last. On Campus, every project carries criterion-level references to the frameworks below in its teacher guide and standards mapping.
