IQL UK Limited formally notified Ofqual in January 2024 of its intention to surrender recognition. IQL UK Limited’s regulated provision has been transferred to a new recognised awarding organisation called RLSS Enterprises Ltd, and remains part of the Royal Life Saving Society UK.
IQL UK Limited has no outstanding students for its regulated provision.
The surrender took effect as of 31 January 2024. From this date, no qualifications offered by IQL UK Limited are regulated by Ofqual.
IQL UK Limited previously had 10 Ofqual regulated qualifications and issued 74,228 certificates in England, which were regulated by Ofqual in the last academic year. IQL UK Limited has provided assurance to us that there has been no adverse effect on any students as a result of this surrender.
When awarding organisations are considering surrendering their recognition, we stand ready to discuss the options for proceeding while ensuring students are protected.
A full list of currently recognised awarding organisations and regulated qualifications can be found on the Register of Regulated Qualifications.
