What BAQA status does—and does not—mean

An approved BAQA status is a private BAQA record based on the applicable route and evidence. Public directory, badge, certificate and validation access depend on the status awarded and remaining current. BAQA membership, accreditation or certification is not a government licence and does not replace local law, premises approval, insurance or professional obligations.
