Providers receive automatic guidance when registrations approach manageable growth: contact at 30% of the added 50% growth and notification of suspension risk if the 50% growth rate is exceeded. Registration thresholds are set according to available resources, past registration history, and quality profile, and increases require evidence of the ability to manage growth while maintaining student experience.

To encourage manageable growth an additional 50% increase to the agreed figure is automatically added to the approved number (subject to any quality concerns) submitted via new application or RQF Declaration form.  \nWe will contact providers at the following times:  \n1. If a provider reaches 30% of the agreed additional 50% growth, we will get in touch and recommend that the provider reviews their registration threshold to see if it is line with their plans for manageable growth. No action is required at this stage unless the provider would like to seek an increase to the agreed maximum number of registrations.  \n2. If a provider exceeds the 50% growth rate, we will contact the provider to advise them of this and that there is a risk that a suspension of registrations will be put in place. The provider will be given an opportunity to make a request to increase their maximum number of registrations, but no further registrations will be permitted without confirmation that the number has been increased.  \nRegistration thresholds are agreed in line with the resources available for the delivery of the RQF Higher Nationals. When agreeing a threshold, a provider’s previous registration history and quality profile are taken into consideration. We reserve the right not to approve a registration increase request that does not appropriately demonstrate an ability to manage the growth effectively, whilst maintaining the quality of the student experience.  \nProviders can submit a Higher Nationals Registration Increase Request Form at any point to [HNQA@perason.com.
