Active IQ

Active IQ is a leading Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation for the physical activity sector. We design qualifications and high-quality resources that support clear career pathways, and lead the way in health, wellness and physical activity, championing industry standards at the highest level.

Over the years we have evolved to become an awarding organisation with a difference. Our diverse portfolio includes: qualifications and supporting resources; the Skills Hub; professional recognition; and professional career development. We also offer End-point Assessment services for a growing number of apprenticeship standards.

We have over 100 qualifications at a range of levels, from Entry Level through to Level 5, all of which are supported by eLearning, manuals and lecture packs. All our qualifications are accredited by Ofqual, Qualifications Wales and CCEA in Northern Ireland, and a wide range of programmes are recognised by CIMSPA and REPs.

At Active IQ, we place quality above quantity, and we value integrity above all else. We provide extensive resources, bespoke solutions and consultancy services, and work hard to develop meaningful partnerships and associations. We are outward-facing and share our time generously on professional advisory panels, including ukactive and CIMSPA.

In 2017, Active IQ became approved as an End-point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) – one of the first within the physical activity sector. With our breadth of expertise and experience, we ensure the design and content of the products and services we offer to employers, providers and apprentices is of the highest quality. Our dedicated End-point Assessment (EPA) department ensures that resources, reliability and accountability for our EPA contracts all meet the required standards.

Following our early approval by the Register of End-point Assessment Organisations, we currently offer twenty apprenticeship standards.

Active IQ won the Exporter of the Year Award at the FAB 2021 Awards, organised by the Federation of Awarding Bodies. It was wonderful to see our international work recognised by the prestigious judging panel - and reminded us how much effort and excitement go into entering industry awards!
