A mark of quality,
independently assessed.
Independent assessment of training institutes and trainers — with certificates anyone can verify against our public registry.
Recognition you can demonstrate.
Demonstrable quality
An independently assessed mark on your website and materials shows prospective learners that your provision has been reviewed against a published standard.
Confidence for procurement
Employers and L&D teams increasingly require independent assurance before commissioning training. PQUAL accreditation provides documented evidence of quality.
Verifiable certificates
Every certificate carries a unique ID and QR code, verifiable against the PQUAL registry. Recipients and employers can confirm authenticity instantly.
Recognised trainers
Your trainers can be independently assessed and listed on the public registry, with their profiles linked to your institute.
