    Every Ascentis Centre is required to have in place one member of staff to act as their Ascentis Quality Nominee or Access to HE Coordinator. This person will act as co-ordinator for Ascentis qualifications for Quality Assurance and compliance purposes.

    The Quality Nominee / Access to HE Coordinator should have sufficient seniority within the Centre to allow them to oversee all quality processes in connection with the delivery, assessment, and internal quality assurance of all Ascentis qualifications. This may be, for example, a Quality Manager. The Quality Nominee / Access to HE Coordinator will be required to complete an annual declaration on behalf of the Centre, confirming that all the appropriate policies are in place and that staffing requirements are met.

    Quality Nominee / Access to HE Coordinator

    A maximum of three contacts at the Centre will be Parnassus Centre Users and will be responsible for managing and modifying internal users and roles for staff within the Centre. Parnassus is the Ascentis Customer Portal.
