TQUK ACCREDITATION

National Talent Academy courses are certified by Training Qualifications UK (TQUK) – one of the UK’s fastest-growing awarding organisations and the technical training arm of the AQA group.


TQUK’s reputation for flexibility, rigour, and responsiveness makes them a natural fit for NTA’s mission: helping every learner build a Futureproof Career. Together, we’re connecting education with employability – creating qualifications that prepare learners not just for a job, but for a changing world.

                                    Why TQUK?

TQUK and NTA share a common belief: education should fit around learners, not the other way around.
Their systems remove routine friction for centres and simplify processes without compromising rigour.
Together, we deliver:
  • Faster turnaround and flexible assessment windows
  • Real-world alignment between skills and employability
  • Programmes that connect learning directly to the workplace
As TQUK CEO Andrew Walker puts it,
"Skills training must always connect back to the workplace. It's not just about gaining a certificate, it's about building the confidence, knowledge, and behaviours that employers value
