Published information

The Accreditation Requirements, Standards and Review, Competency Levels and Policies and Quality Standards pages publish the provider and course requirements, the five core standards, a four-level competency framework and mandatory provider policies. The Accreditation Fees page publishes prices in US dollars: Pre-Review Consultation USD 125, Provider Accreditation USD 195, Course Approval USD 95 for the first course and USD 45 for each additional course, and an Annual Accreditation Renewal Fee of USD 95. We looked for terms and conditions for the accreditation service and did not find a terms page; the contact form refers to "Terms and Conditions" and /terms-and-conditions/ returned a not-found page. A Privacy Policy is published, stated as effective and last updated in 2025. We looked for a procedure for complaints about IPLSO itself and did not find one; the Requirements page requires providers to hold their own complaints and appeals policy. The site is served over HTTPS.

The Accreditation Application page states that each course is evaluated individually. The Policies page states that certificates must carry an "IPLSO Accreditation Number (once issued)", and the published provider page shows a provider recognition ID and individual course accreditation IDs. An Accredited Providers Register page with a search tool is published, and the Contact Us page offers status verification by email. The Standards and Review page states that accredited providers and courses are subject to annual review, and the Fees page states an annual renewal fee. An ICO register search by organisation name and by "IPLSO" returned no entries; no UK postcode is published. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Advertising and claims

It states that accreditation offers "a clear, trusted signal of quality for professionals, employers, and organisations". The About page states: "IPLSO accreditation is a private international quality assurance framework and should not be interpreted as government licensing, statutory approval, or academic degree accreditation."
