Do BAQA standards replace local laws or licences?

BAQA standards and verification support professional good practice. BAQA is not a government regulator and does not grant a legal right to practise.

Artists, studios, trainers, colleges, and suppliers must identify and follow the laws and requirements applying to their location and services. These can include age rules, premises or practitioner licences, infection-control duties, product restrictions, waste rules, privacy, record retention, advertising, insurance, qualifications, and consumer rights.
