What Our Approved Centres Say
Lincoln Institute of Graduate Studies
The approval process was straightforward, though it required careful documentation and adherence to guidelines. We received helpful support throughout the process, and all our questions were answered promptly and clearly. We would recommend NQual to others internationally, as they provide a structured and supportive approach to accreditation.
Institute of Professional and Higher Studies
We at the IPHS Campus approached a few awarding bodies prior to contacting NQual and it has stopped our hunting. After the initial contact and the virtual meeting with the NQual representatives, we did not think twice to approach any. Excellent service with swift responses. Professional staff who listen well to the customers requirements. Very straight forward and transparent communication expresses the professionalism of the body and its pillar of staff. Swift responses, guidance with flexibility, affordable and professional. Highly recommended.
