Accreditations | Royal Open College

Our Accreditations

Choosing an online course is easier when you know who stands behind it. At Royal Open College, our courses and our organisation are recognised by respected UK bodies. Each one adds a different kind of assurance: independent course accreditation, verified provider identity, safety expertise, ethical standards or a commitment to inclusion.

Together, these recognitions help you study with confidence, evidence your professional development and show employers that you trained with a transparent, accountable provider. Explore each organisation below to see exactly what it means for you, and check each course page for the accreditation that applies to that course.

Quality Licence Scheme (QLS) Endorsed

The Royal Open College is endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme (QLS), which independently evaluates course content and delivery against rigorous quality standards.
