The Accreditation Company Limited t/a The Accreditation Association

Companies House Status

THE ACCREDITATION COMPANY LTD IS A DISSOLVED COMPANY. The website at theaccreditationassociation.co.uk remains live and continues to accept payment for accreditation packages and training products. We recommend you exercise caution and carry out your own due diligence before engaging with this organisation.

THE ACCREDITATION COMPANY LTD (Company No. 12705198) was incorporated on 30th June 2020 and dissolved by compulsory strike-off on 22nd August 2023. This was the second compulsory strike-off action brought against the company — a first notice was issued in September 2021 and was discontinued in October 2021 before a second notice was issued in June 2023, resulting in dissolution the following August.

The only accounts ever filed by the company are dormant accounts covering the period to 30th June 2021. The company declared no trading activity at any point during its registered existence. No accounts reflecting any commercial activity were filed prior to dissolution.

The trading name "The Accreditation Association" does not correspond to any active registered company at Companies House at the time of this review. No alternative or successor legal entity has been identified that is accountable for the commercial activity currently taking place on the website.

Website Continues to Trade Following Dissolution

Despite the dissolution of the only identifiable associated legal entity in August 2023, the website at theaccreditationassociation.co.uk continues to operate as a commercial platform. At the time of this review, the website is actively selling accreditation packages ranging from £70.00 for a single course to £650.00 for over twenty courses, as well as training courses including an Educators Diploma (AET Level 3) listed at £299.00, and a range of digital products.

A dissolved company cannot lawfully enter into new contracts, issue certificates or accreditations with contractual standing, or be pursued through the courts by parties with a grievance without first applying to restore the company — a process with time limits and cost implications. The legal status of any accreditation purchased from this organisation, and any recourse available to training providers who have done so, is therefore uncertain.

No legal entity name is disclosed anywhere on the website. No physical address, telephone number, or named individual is published. Training providers and consumers have no reliable means of identifying who is responsible for this organisation's ongoing commercial activity or of serving legal correspondence in the event of a dispute.

The website also makes a number of unsubstantiated claims, including that its accreditation is accepted by major UK insurance providers, that it has accredited hundreds of UK training providers, and that it holds working partnerships with all the leading insurance companies worldwide. No named insurers are identified, and no verifiable register of accredited providers is published.

Guidance for Training Providers and Consumers

If you currently hold accreditation from The Accreditation Association, or are considering engaging with this organisation, we recommend the following:

If you hold TAA accreditation and display the TAA badge or certificate on your own marketing materials, consider whether it remains appropriate to do so given that the issuing legal entity is dissolved and no active successor entity has been identified.

If you have paid for accreditation or training products and have unresolved matters — including refunds, renewal queries, or complaints — consider raising these through your local Trading Standards service or through the small claims track of the county court. Be aware that pursuing a dissolved company through the courts requires the company to first be restored to the register, which involves a separate application and associated costs.

If you are a consumer who has undertaken a course accredited by this organisation, be aware that the assurance the accreditation was intended to provide may no longer be meaningful given the dissolved status of the issuing entity.
