IQN Programme Accreditation Scheme (PAS)

 Give your learners global recognition without extra exams!

What is the Programme Accreditation Scheme (PAS)?

The Programme Accreditation Scheme (PAS) is a service by IQN that recognises the academic and professional programmes delivered by other institutions. If your course matches the content and level of an IQN qualification, it can be officially accredited. Your learners can then receive IQN certification without sitting any extra exam.

Who can apply for PAS?

Any of the following can apply:

  • Universitie 
  • Colleges
  • Training providers
  • Awarding organisations

If you offer a programme in HR, Marketing, Finance, Project Management, Strategic Management, or Supply Chain — and it matches IQN’s curriculum — you may be eligible.

What are the benefits of PAS?

  • Learners receive IQN diplomas and certifications without needing to take a separate IQN exam.
  • Institutions gain global recognition for their existing programmes.

Can universities join PAS without changing their degree structure?

Yes. Universities do not need to change their programmes. IQN will review and benchmark the degree content against our qualification standards. If there is a strong match, the university’s programme can be accredited directly.

Can IQN exam preparation providers get accredited under PAS?

Yes. If you are a registered IQN centre offering in-house programmes that follow IQN’s curriculum in areas like HR, Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, Project Management or Strategy, you can apply for accreditation under PAS.

Is PAS a one-time approval?

No. Accreditation is granted for one year, subject to renewal. Institutions must maintain quality and provide updated programme information when required.

What documents are needed to apply?

You will be asked to submit:

  • Programme syllabus or course outline (optional if you are embedding IQN syllabus)
  • Sample assessment materials (optional if you are embedding IQN syllabus)
  • Information about faculty or trainers
  • Information about the institute (local approval, accreditation/ recognition, governance, quality assurance procedures, examination procedures, etc.)

Is there a cost to join PAS?

Yes, there is an annual accreditation fee. However, if you claim minimum 25 IQN certificates for your learners in a calendar year, the annual fee will be fully waived.
