Accreditations
Every accrediting body in our United Kingdom directory
We independently verify each provider against MCS and GWO records before listing. Lapsed accreditations are delisted within 30 days. Providers can hold multiple accreditations — below is the unique set across all listings, with the count of providers holding each.
Market primary
MCS
The default verification body for United Kingdom. Most listings here hold MCS status and it is what learners typically search for when picking a course. Provider listings without MCS are accepted but ranked below MCS-verified peers in default search.

How we verify
- Every provider is checked against the public register of their primary accrediting body before going live.
- Quarterly re-verification sweeps catch lapsed accreditations. Providers whose status drops are delisted within 30 days.
- We do not vouch for course quality directly — the accrediting body does. We surface the badge and link out to the relevant register when learners want to confirm.
