+## 27 November 2024
+
+We've launched the live standalone National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) API following a 3-month test phase.
+
+We’ve migrated NPQ data from the combined ECF/NPQs API to the new environment, so providers must now make all NPQ-related calls from this API.
+
+To make requests in the new live environment, providers must use the bearer tokens that we’ve sent them via Galaxkey.
+
+The base URL is:
+
+- [https://register-national-professional-qualifications.education.gov.uk/](https://register-national-professional-qualifications.education.gov.uk/)
+
+Providers can add the required API version and endpoint depending on what they want to do. For example, they’d add `/api/v3/npq-applications` to the base URL if they want to retrieve multiple applications.
+
+We’ve also created documentation for the new live environment endpoints:
+
+- [NPQ API v1 documentation](https://register-national-professional-qualifications.education.gov.uk/api/docs/v1)
+- [NPQ API v2 documentation](https://register-national-professional-qualifications.education.gov.uk/api/docs/v2)
+- [NPQ API v3 documentation](https://register-national-professional-qualifications.education.gov.uk/api/docs/v3)
+
+To ensure everything runs smoothly, we recommend providers take the following post-separation actions:
+
+- check their integration supports NPQ calls independently
+- make sure all data flows and integrations continue to work as expected
+- test internal processes to verify that data from the NPQ environment is being handled appropriately
+- conduct full data syncs within their allocated window so that data is up to date and accurate
+
+Providers can contact us via their dedicated DfE Slack channel if they’ve got any suggestions or concerns.

 ## 13 August 2024
 
 We’ve released a minimum viable product (MVP) version of the standalone National Professional Qualifications (NPQ) API for providers to test ahead of its full launch at the end of November 2024. We plan to run this test phase until the end of October and will support providers via regular dedicated meetings to ensure testing is going smoothly.
