Access and Participation Plan

As a higher education provider offering a range of degree programmes and other higher level qualifications, CECOS College has produced an Action and Participation Plan (APP) as part of the requirements to apply for registration with the Office for Students (OfS). Once the College’s application for OfS registration has been successful, CECOS College will be required to produce and publish its Access and Participation Plan.

The OfS is the independent regulator of higher education in England, and our application for registration reflects our commitment to meeting its standards and requirements.

Access and Participation Plan 2025-26 to 2028-29

Our access and participation plan outlines our approach to improve the equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access, succeed in, and progress from higher education. Our plan includes:

  • A comprehensive assessment of our current performance
  • An overview of the measures we have in place to improve access, student success, and progression
  • Details of our financial support packages
  • A summary of our financial investment to support these initiatives

Once our application for registration has been approved, our action and participation plan will be published, along with the APP summary document, and will be added to our website for all interested parties to scrutinise.
