Get Your Courses Endorsed

Your existing courses can get the external approval they deserve through IQN. We will review your course, and if approved, we will issue certificates for your learners.

What the Endorsement Means for Your Institution

IQN endorsement is ideal for learning providers who have developed their own courses and want external recognition. Once endorsed, your learners receive digital IQN certificates, adding international credibility to your locally designed programme.

A Trusted External Quality Mark

IQN endorsement acts as an independent quality mark. It confirms that your course structure, learning outcomes, and assessment approach meet IQN’s global standards.

You Drive the Learning — We Award the Seal of Approval

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at support@iqnglobal.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is IQN externally regulated for course endorsement?

IQN is an independent awarding body. While IQN’s UK-based SCQF credit-rated qualifications are nationally recognised in Scotland, IQN Endorsement operates under IQN’s own comprehensive quality assurance and governance framework.

How are IQN Endorsed Courses different from IQN Qualifications?

IQN qualifications are nationally recognised within the Scottish framework. IQN Endorsed Courses are provider-designed and provider-assessed, but IQN reviews and certificates them as a mark of external quality assurance.

What recognition do Endorsed Courses hold?

Recognition depends on employer, industry, and local market acceptance. IQN endorsement strengthens credibility, but it does not guarantee national qualification framework recognition.

How much does IQN endorsed certification cost?

IQN Endorsed Course providers pay £10 per learner for each digital certificate issued by IQN.

Is there any upfront or approval fee?

No. There is no upfront or approval fee. However, each approved provider must claim a minimum of 36 IQN Endorsed certificates per calendar year. If fewer than 36 certificates are claimed, the shortfall up to £360 will be invoiced.

What does the minimum 36 certificates per year mean?

Each approved provider must issue a minimum total of 36 IQN Endorsed certificates per calendar year. This total can come from any number of IQN-endorsed courses combined. The minimum requirement does not apply to each individual course.
