Get Your Courses Endorsed

What is IQN Course Endorsement?

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

Your organisation remains fully responsible for designing, delivering, and assessing the course. IQN’s role is to review, approve, and certify your programme under its third-party endorsement model

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is IQN regulated by an external body to endorse courses?

No. IQN is an independent, self-regulated awarding body. IQN has over a decade of experience delivering SCQF credit-rated qualifications, which are nationally recognised in Scotland. IQN Endorsement operates entirely under its own internal quality assurance 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.

What fees are involved?

£49 one-time non-refundable application fee per course
From £15 per learner for digital certification (based on the regional economic zone)
No annual or recurring fee

How do providers apply?

Email your course titles and a brief proposal to support@iqnglobal.com.
After the initial screening, IQN will provide a secure link to submit documents and pay the application fee.
