If you're delivering high-quality training that sits outside of regulated qualifications, it can be tough to demonstrate its value. You know your programmes make a real impact, but without external recognition, learners and stakeholders might not see the full picture.

Introducing Innovate Endorsed — a flexible, supportive way to validate your courses, boost your credibility, and give your learners the recognition they deserve.

With Innovate Endorsed, you can:

  • Demonstrate a commitment to quality

  • Gain a nationally recognised endorsement

  • Offer branded certification to learners

  • Stand out in a competitive market

Add weight to your offer with Innovate Endorsed

Whether you’re delivering induction training, CPD, or sector-specific upskilling, Innovate Endorsed gives you the external validation you need to prove your programme meets high standards.

If you're working with employers, learners, or commissioners who want reassurance around quality, an endorsement from Innovate Awarding can give them greater confidence in what you’re delivering.

Innovate Endorsed also supports national goals to strengthen adult skills and employer-led training—echoing themes from the government’s Post 16 education and skills white paper.

How does the Innovate Endorsed process work?

  • Request

    Simply complete the form below detailing the course that you'd like awarded by Innovate Endorsed. We'll then reach out to ask for evidence to demonstrate your strong internal quality assurance and learner support processes.

  • Review

    Once you submit your application, we’ll carry out a remote External Quality Assurance (EQA) review, including a scheduled visit. You’ll receive a decision within two working days of your visit.

  • Setup

    It costs just £750 to accredit your first learning programme, and £250 per additional programme after that. There’s then an annual fee of £250 per programme to maintain your accreditation, and a £10 fee per learner that completes it for certification.

  • Mobilise

    We’ll get you up and running within 30 working days, and all we need from you is the details of the learning programme you’ve already built. Not got that mapped out yet? We can help – contact us to explore how we can help you build your training programme and then accredit it for you.
