These qualifications have been designed to meet the learning and development needs of staff working in Border Enforcement. They have been developed through reference to the Border Force Training Pathway, National Occupational Standards and extensive consultation with experts in the field.

The Border Force Training pathway also supports operational delivery in the wider Home Office and across the whole of the Civil Service. Seven out of ten civil servants work in operational delivery, ranging from border control to court administration, benefits and pensions processing and giving advice on tax. Much of the public’s perception of the Civil Service is formed by how well these services are delivered. The Border Force Training pathway supports this initiative and provides those who progress through the accredited programme with an introduction to the profession.
