Why this qualification
A Level 6 in engineering quality — studied around your job
The real ProQual diploma, 610/5242/5
Not an in-house certificate. This is the Ofqual-regulated ProQual Level 6 Diploma in Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA/QC) – Engineering, internally assessed by our centre and externally verified by ProQual.
Civil, mechanical and electrical
Three of the five units apply QA/QC directly to civil engineering projects, mechanical field activities and systems, and electrical systems — so it fits whichever side of engineering you work on.
ISO 9001, Six Sigma and TQM
The qualification is built around recognised national and international quality standards, including ISO 9001 and Six Sigma, and the best practice of Total Quality Management.
We take learners wherever they are
Everything is delivered and submitted online. It makes no difference whether you are in the UK, offshore or working overseas — there is nothing to attend and nowhere to travel to.
Free learning materials, if you want them
We provide learning materials at no extra cost. They are optional — you research each topic and answer the assessment questions in your own words, using the materials or your own reading.
Straight on to Level 7
Completing this diploma lets you progress to the ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Quality Control & Quality Assurance (QA/QC), and supports applications for senior quality management roles.
Who it’s for
Engineers and quality staff, at any stage
ProQual sets no formal academic entry requirements. You need to be 19 or over on the day you register, and either working in a role — or enrolled on a course — that lets you generate evidence against the assessment criteria. Our programme provides that route, so you can take the diploma whether or not you currently hold a QA/QC job title. We carry out an initial assessment of your skills and knowledge before you start, as ProQual requires.

Common questions
Before you enrol
What is the qualification number?
610/5242/5. The full title is the ProQual Level 6 Diploma in Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA/QC) – Engineering, awarded by ProQual AB and regulated by Ofqual. It carries 60 credits and 600 hours of total qualification time.
Do I need to be working in a QA/QC role?
No job title is required. ProQual asks that you are 19 or over and either employed in a role, or enrolled on a course, that lets you generate evidence against the assessment criteria — our programme provides that route. There are no formal academic entry requirements, and we assess your starting point before you enrol.
What does the qualification cover?
Five mandatory units: principles of quality control and quality assurance; quality management systems and standards; and QA/QC applied to civil engineering projects, mechanical field activities and systems, and electrical systems. It is designed around ISO 9001, Six Sigma and Total Quality Management.
How is it assessed?
Pass or fail, on a portfolio of written work. You research each topic and answer the assessment criteria in your own words, submitted online. Our centre assesses and internally verifies the work, and ProQual externally verifies it. There are no exams and no classroom attendance.
Where can I study from?
Anywhere. Everything is delivered and submitted online, so we take learners from across the UK and from people working away or overseas.
Do I get learning materials?
Yes, and they are free. We provide materials covering the qualification as part of the fee. They are optional — some learners work straight through them, others use their own reading and experience.
How long does it take?
ProQual sets 600 hours of total qualification time, of which 300 are guided learning hours. Most learners work through it over a few months alongside a full-time job, at their own pace — nothing is timetabled.
What can I progress to?
The ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Quality Control & Quality Assurance (QA/QC), and senior quality management roles.
Is this a CSCS card route?
No. This is a standalone Level 6 qualification in engineering quality, not a CSCS card qualification. If a card is what you need, call us — we deliver the NVQs behind the Green, Blue, Gold and Black cards and will point you to the right one.
