Q-UK International Register
Change language
Q-UK is a comprehensive database of qualifications and other innovative educational products and essential services that are available for export such as educational resources design, research and consultancy for vocational and technical education.
Some awarding organisations offer qualifications designed for a particular country’s market, for example where content is based on country-specific laws or local skills needs. Where a qualification is not awarded in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, it cannot be regulated by one of the UK regulators. Being an ‘unregulated’ qualification is not a reflection of the quality or value of the qualification.
The UK’s Department for Business and Trade is a co-owner of the UK’s International Education Strategy. The Federation of Awarding Bodies is a representative member of the UK Skills Partnership on the Education Sector Advisor Group.
