Degree awarding powers

See the DAPs end assessment report

Dyson Technical Training Limited, which trades under the name the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, has been awarded full taught degree awarding powers (Full DAPs) by the OfS, after completing its New DAPs probationary period. 

The OfS appointed an assessment team in October 2023 to provide expert advice about the quality of and standards applied to higher education courses and whether the provider has met the DAPs criteria, through the operation of its New DAPs probationary period. The conclusion of that assessment was a report, which was considered by the OfS’s Quality Assessment Committee (QAC), which in turn provided the OfS with advice on the application made for DAPs.

The OfS considered this information to complete a final assessment, also drawing on its knowledge of the suitability of the provider to hold the DAPs it had applied for, with a focus on the provider’s ongoing compliance with the OfS’s conditions of registration. 

The OfS authorised time-limited Full degree awarding powers (Full DAPs) for Dyson Technical Training Limited to award Taught degrees, up to and including Level 7 (all subjects) for a period of three years and three months until 30 November 2027.
