Correct logo usage
CIMSPA Education Partners (Training Provider Partners, Higher Education Partners and Further Education Provider Partners) should use the relevant CIMSPA education partner quality assurance logo as determined by their most recent annual review (one, two or three stars).
Updating usage of the education partner quality assurance logo
If the education partner’s quality assurance outcome should change as part of their annual review (for example moving from 2 to 3 star), partners should update their use of the logo:
- Digital platforms and documents: within one month of being notified of change.
- Printed material: within 3 months unless a specific agreement is made between CIMSPA and Partner.
