The questions that matter, answered in full.

Qualitect is an AI-powered qualification development platform. You select your subject, level and source materials and Qualitect builds a complete draft syllabus, automatically checked against the relevant educational standards before it reaches you. As the platform grows, it will also generate assessment materials and learning materials.

Key capabilities:

• Upload your own documents or search and select from an integrated research and publications database to develop your qualification content
• Designed to align to educational standards globally, with region and framework selected by you at the start of every qualification
• Compliance reports and audit records generated automatically
• Usage data collected over time to help evidence and justify key qualification criteria
• Built-in recertification options and flexible qualification design
• A fraction of the cost of traditional qualification development
• Available around the clock from anywhere in the world
• Scalable from a single qualification to a full portfolio

Every output is grounded in your sources and verified by you.

A qualification is a recognition of achievement. It confirms that a learner has reached a defined standard of knowledge, skill or competence in a given subject or area of practice.

Building a qualification means developing the full package of materials needed to teach, assess and evidence that standard. This includes:

• A syllabus, which sets out what will be taught, at what level and how achievement will be assessed
• Assessment materials, which measure whether a learner has met the required standard
• Learning materials, which deliver the content of the qualification to the learner

These three components are built in sequence on Qualitect. The syllabus comes first, accompanied by a compliance report confirming alignment to the relevant educational standards. Assessment materials and learning materials follow as the platform develops.

Qualifications vary in size and level. Size determines how long a qualification takes to complete. Level reflects the depth of knowledge, skill and understanding required. Both are set by you at the start of the build and validated automatically by the platform.

Generation typically completes in minutes. You then review each part of the syllabus, edit or regenerate anything that needs refining and lock in your content when you are happy. The review process is designed to be fast, with a clear structure that takes you through the syllabus step by step.

For context, traditional qualification development typically takes weeks to months from brief to approval. Qualitect can help you achieve a better output in a fraction of the time.

Yes, and we expect you to. Every learning outcome, assessment criterion and piece of indicative content can be edited directly in the review surface. Any edit is immediately re-checked against the relevant educational standards, so if something needs attention you see it straight away. Every edit is saved as a permanent revision alongside the original, giving you a complete version history of how your syllabus was developed.

Three things work in your favour. First, the built-in quality checks catch issues before you ever see them. Second, you can edit, regenerate or override any part of the syllabus, and if you override a flagged issue you record your reason. Third, every decision is stored in the audit trail, so if something is ever questioned you have a complete record of who reviewed it, who approved it and when.

The key differences are speed, cost and currency of content. A traditional qualification development process can cost thousands of pounds and take weeks to months to complete. Qualitect delivers to the same standard at a fraction of the cost, with content grounded in current research and publications from the moment you begin.

Automatic quality checks run on every part of the syllabus throughout the build. Every decision is automatically documented from the start, giving you a complete audit trail without any additional burden.

Through a combination of built-in quality checks and a documented audit trail. Every part of your qualification is automatically checked against the relevant educational standards for your region before it reaches you for review.

The platform applies checks including on aim and purpose, title format, learning outcome structure, assessment criteria alignment, assessment strategy, qualification size and credit and completeness. Parts of the syllabus that do not meet the relevant standard are flagged for your review. If you choose to override a flagged issue you record your reason and this becomes part of the audit record.

The checks are encoded as a rules engine that runs on every generated part of the syllabus before it reaches the review layer. The engine is configurable by region and framework, meaning the same platform can apply different rule sets as additional frameworks are added over time.

Every qualification syllabus built on the Qualitect platform generates two documents that together form the compliance evidence for the qualification.

The first is the standards mapping report. This shows how the qualification aligns to the relevant educational standards for your region and framework. It confirms that the qualification has been built to the right level, covers the right content and is structured appropriately.

The second is the compliance report. This covers the broader evidence a qualification development process should be able to demonstrate, including market need, fitness for purpose, comparability with similar qualifications, equality impact, level validation, Total Qualification Time and Guided Learning Hours, assessment strategy and progression pathways.

Both documents are generated automatically as part of the qualification build and are included in the download alongside the syllabus.

Qualifications also need to remain fit for purpose over time. The Qualitect platform supports ongoing review and documentation of key qualification criteria, helping you evidence that the qualification continues to meet the relevant standards throughout its lifetime.

You do. There is no path to an approved, downloaded qualification that bypasses your review. Final approval is recorded with a formal declaration from a named reviewer, a timestamp and a location reference, all of which form part of the permanent audit record.

The audit trail is the complete, permanent record of every action taken on a qualification, from the moment you start building it to the moment it is downloaded and approved. Every decision, edit, override and approval is logged against a named reviewer with a date and time stamp.

The audit trail matters because the organisations and frameworks that govern qualifications increasingly require evidence that a qualification is valid, fit for purpose, relevant and robust, and that the decisions behind it can be demonstrated clearly. The audit trail provides that evidence automatically, as a natural product of the development process rather than something that needs to be assembled after the fact.

The audit trail is stored in a system that only allows new records to be added, never altered or deleted. This protection is tested on every software update.

You can override it. You record your reason in writing and this becomes a permanent part of the audit record alongside the original finding. The platform flags issues and explains them. You decide what to do.

Your data is stored securely within the United Kingdom. Access between organisations is strictly isolated, meaning no other user or organisation can access your qualifications, source materials or audit records. All data is encrypted both when stored and when transmitted.

Technical details:

• Data is stored in UK AWS regions with encryption at rest using AWS KMS
• Traffic is encrypted using TLS 1.3 in transit
• Row-level security enforces strict isolation between providers
• Source files are stored in a private S3 bucket with pre-signed URL access and automatic expiry
• Audit logs are stored in an append-only system at the database role level

For full details of how we handle and protect your data, see our Data Protection Policy and Information Security Policy.

You can upload PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text and CSV files. Files are limited to 50 MB each and 200 MB in total per qualification.

Image-heavy documents are processed automatically to extract text where possible.

Uploaded text is broken into sections, indexed and retrieved during generation to ensure the most relevant content informs each part of the syllabus.

No. Your source materials stay within your project, encrypted, and are used only to inform the generation of your qualification. They are not used to train any AI model, shared with any other organisation or retained beyond your subscription period.

Yes. Qualitect acts as the data processor on your behalf, meaning you remain in control of your data and how it is used. A Data Processing Agreement is available on request. Subject access requests, where an individual asks to see the data held about them, are supported directly through the platform.

Qualification levels vary by region and framework. The current version of the platform supports levels 1 through 7, from introductory programmes building foundational knowledge (level 1) through to advanced professional and technical qualifications requiring specialised expertise, critical analysis and independent research (level 7). As additional regions and frameworks are added, the supported level range will expand accordingly. Level 8 is not currently supported. Entry level qualifications are on the roadmap for a future release.

Qualitect supports all qualification sizes, from Awards through to Certificates and Diplomas. You select the size at the start of the build and the platform ensures it is consistent with the time assigned to the qualification.

Qualitect is designed to support any educational standard globally. You select your region and the relevant educational standards at the start of every qualification build and the platform configures itself accordingly.

Not all qualifications require formal regulation and Qualitect supports this. Whether you are an organisation developing internal training programmes, a professional association building continuing development qualifications or an individual creating a personal learning programme, the platform works for you.

For qualifications without a statutory regulator, the built-in quality checks can be configured to reflect your own quality standards or those of a relevant professional or sector body. This is an enterprise feature. Contact us at hello@qualitect.co.uk for further information.

Yes. The platform supports multiple users working on the same qualification with different levels of access. Administrators manage the project, reviewers work through the content and other team members can view progress without making changes. Edits are always attributed to the person who made them.

Yes. Enterprise subscribers can connect Qualitect directly to their own systems via a secure API, allowing your team to trigger qualification generation, retrieve outputs and receive automated notifications without anyone needing to log into the platform manually. Every platform function is available via the API with the same quality checks and audit trail as the standard interface.

Technical details:

• The API uses secure key-based authentication with scoped access controls and configurable rate limits
• Automated notifications are delivered via webhook on generation completion and version approval

Once you approve your qualification syllabus and lock it for download, the approved version becomes permanent. You then receive the following:

• The qualification syllabus as a PDF
• The standards mapping report, showing alignment to the relevant educational standards
• The compliance report, covering market need, fitness for purpose, comparability, equality impact, level validation, Total Qualification Time and Guided Learning Hours, assessment strategy and progression pathways
• A full reference list of all sources used

All files are available in a single download. The download is recorded in the audit trail with the date, time and details of who approved and downloaded it.
