Published information

The FAQs refer to "the Quality Licence Scheme standard and guiding principles" and to "the standards we set". We looked for the standard or criteria themselves on the home page and FAQ pages and did not find them. We looked for pricing on the home page and FAQ pages and did not find it; the Provider FAQs state that approving new courses "does not attract any additional costs". We looked for terms of business for the scheme and did not find them; the Provider FAQs state that providers "will receive terms and conditions on how to use the logo". The footer's privacy policy link opens the Skills and Education Group's "Protecting your privacy" page, which covers the companies in the group. We looked for a complaints procedure on the home and FAQ pages and did not find one. The site is served over HTTPS. The Provider FAQs describe a process for "gaining approval for new courses" and state that course levels are demonstrated "through the scheme's audits". We looked for an accreditation number for each course and did not find one stated. The home page lists current providers, with links to their websites. The FAQs state "We regularly check Provider's websites"; we looked for a stated review or renewal cycle and did not find one. An ICO register search by the published postcode returned registration ZB241293 for Quality Licence Scheme Limited, registered 3 November 2021 and expiring 2 November 2026; name searches for "Quality Licence Scheme" and "Quality Licence Scheme Limited" returned no entry.

Advertising and claims

The home page states that the Skills and Education Group has "more than 100 years of collective experience" and describes its awarding organisations as "nationally recognised". The FAQs state "Our endorsement shows that the provider is committed to high quality" and tell learners that their course "has, however, been recognised as high-quality and meets the standards we set as part of our Quality Licence Scheme". The Learner FAQs also state "The course you are studying is not regulated by Ofqual". Accessed 28 October 2026.
