Lift College is now a TQUK recognised centre for ten Ofqual-regulated online qualifications
Lift College now delivers ten Ofqual-regulated qualifications online as a TQUK recognised centre. They cover teaching and childcare, adult care and Functional Skills, and the certificates are issued by Training Qualifications UK (TQUK).
Lift College, the UK online college at liftcollege.co.uk, is a recognised centre of Training Qualifications UK (TQUK), an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation. Learners study online with a named UK tutor. Once they meet all the requirements of their qualification, they receive a certificate awarded by TQUK.
What centre status means for learners
For many vocational and Functional Skills routes, the difference between a short course and a regulated qualification is who awards the certificate. To become a recognised centre, Lift College met TQUK's centre requirements. Lift College delivers the teaching and assessment, and TQUK externally quality-assures it and awards the certificate.
We are delighted to become a TQUK recognised centre for these qualifications. For us, it is essential that learners can access qualifications awarded by a trusted, Ofqual-recognised organisation: credentials that employers and universities can recognise and verify. Our flexible subscription model, seven-day free trial and fully online learning experience are designed to make regulated education more accessible. With the support of a named UK tutor, learners can work towards a recognised qualification in a way that fits around their work, family and other commitments. Lift College delivers the learning and assessment, while TQUK awards the qualifications, giving learners added confidence in the quality and value of their certificate.
