Form FTAP 1
Edition 2.1

Application for fast track qualification approval
Hair and Beauty IVQs – 3001, 3002 and 3003
Fast track approval is a streamlined approval process for existing centres. Typically, it is used when a qualification is replaced or updated where there is a close link in terms of content and assessment strategy between the new qualification and the existing one. Qualification approval is achieved simply by completing the fast track approval form.

Fast track approval is appropriate providing:

•	you have been granted approval or have been actively offering the existing related qualification in the last 12 months; 
•	there are no unresolved actions from your external verifier visits;
•	Where changes have taken place, a completed Approval Application Update (CGI/APU form) must be forwarded with this fast track form. 
If changes relate to staff resources, CVs of new assessors and/or internal verifiers must be forwarded with copies of their certificates/qualifications. The Approval Application Update (CGI/APU form) and guidance notes can be found in section 5 of the Centre Guide - Delivering International Qualifications, Edition 3). A soft copy of the form is available from your local branch office. 

If your centre wishes to offer levels that you have not previously offered or levels where you have not been actively offering the existing related qualification within the last 12 months, you should complete an Application for Qualification Approval (CGI/QAP form) which can be found in section 4 of the Centre Guide – Delivering International Qualifications, Edition 3 and submit the form to your local branch office. 

Where there is no obvious link between the proposed new qualification(s) and your existing approved qualification(s), an Application for Qualification Approval (CGI/QAP form) should be completed and an external verifier visit would be necessary.
