IFTC Achieves Prestigious ATHE Accreditation: A Gateway to Global Recognition
We are proud to share a major milestone in our educational journey: IFTC has been officially recognized by ATHE (Awards for Training and Higher Education), a distinguished UK-based awarding organization. This recognition is not just a badge of honor—it’s a firm declaration of our unwavering commitment to delivering top-tier education and training that meets internationally recognized standards.
What Is ATHE and Why Does It Matter?
ATHE is an internationally respected awarding body regulated by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) in England and Qualifications Wales. It specializes in providing high-quality qualifications in areas such as business, management, law, computing, and health and social care, with a focus on innovation and flexibility in education.
For students and institutions alike, ATHE’s endorsement represents trust, quality, and legitimacy. Their qualifications are not only recognized in the UK but also accepted and respected by employers and academic institutions worldwide. Gaining accreditation from such an entity is no small feat—it reflects rigorous academic compliance, ethical delivery, and ongoing dedication to excellence.
What This Means for IFTC and Our Students
At IFTC, this recognition is a defining moment in our development as a trusted academic and professional training institution. By becoming an approved ATHE center, we are now fully aligned with the high standards outlined by Ofqual. This ensures that the qualifications we offer are not only robust but also globally accepted.
Our students now have the opportunity to:
- Earn qualifications that are respected internationally

Whether you’re pursuing business, leadership, IT, or healthcare, your credentials from IFTC—now accredited by ATHE—carry the weight of international recognition and academic credibility.
The Journey Toward Accreditation
Achieving ATHE recognition wasn’t a simple checkbox exercise. It involved a detailed evaluation of our teaching practices, learning materials, faculty qualifications, quality assurance procedures, and student support systems. Every part of our operation was reviewed to ensure it aligned with ATHE’s and Ofqual’s stringent requirements.
This process reinforced our internal commitment to quality. It pushed us to refine our methodologies and maintain a student-centric approach at every level. From curriculum design to assessment frameworks, every element was assessed for fairness, transparency, and rigor.
