Each AO will be subject to conditions of recognition. Most of the conditions of recognition to which an AO is subject will apply to all AOs (general conditions). However, different general conditions might also be applied to different types of AOs, different qualifications or types of qualification, or in respect of credits relating to different components of qualifications or types of such components.

We may also impose additional conditions of recognition on an individual AO (special conditions).

The special conditions that may be applied to an individual AO include:

• entry and inspection conditions (as explained below), or
• fee-capping conditions (in development following consultation, to be published in due course).
  
  

However, we can also impose additional types of special condition where it would be appropriate to do so in the case of an individual AO.
