Do I need to register for the AIM Awards Level 3 Diploma?

Although AIM Awards accreditation is optional for NDA Diploma courses, NDA highly recommend that you do register for the following reasons.

• There is no additional study required as the course follows the AIM Level 3 syllabus.
• The AIM Level 3 Diploma also lists the modules of the Diploma as evidence to future clients, employers or education institutions of how comprehensively you have studied the subject.
• Students intending to progress onto a degree with NDA or considering further study elsewhere will require the AIM Level 3 Diploma.
• If you intend to access a 19+ Loan for your Diploma course fees you will require AIM accreditation
• AIM Awards check the quality of NDA student work on all courses annually, as confirmation to you that standards meet Ofsted quality levels.
• It is not possible to apply for AIM accreditation once you have finished the course
• If you require further information before making your decision please contact us

What does accreditation mean?

All NDA qualifications carry national validation, which means that they have been approved at government level and have reached the standard to qualify for government funding, if available.

All NDA Diplomas are listed on the British Government Quality & Curriculum Framework.

AIM Awards is an approved British Awarding Body, regulated by OfQual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation).

This is not the case for all interior design courses currently offered. Some courses offered by design schools are simply not accredited. Some accrediting bodies take an overview of an organisation rather than individual courses, and there is no inspection of student work on an ongoing basis.

All students should consider the level of accreditation for any intended course.
