The International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international body that develops and publishes globally recognised standards. These standards support innovation, improve quality, ensure safety, and promote interoperability across a wide range of sectors. In the education sector, ISO standards provide robust frameworks to ensure the delivery of high-quality, learner-centered experiences. By obtaining relevant ISO certifications, Recognition Education demonstrated its commitment to excellence, transparency, and continuous improvement—reinforcing its mission to deliver accessible, transformative learning for all.

ISO 21001:2018 – Educational Organisations Management Systems 

Overview: 

ISO 21001 is an educational organisation management system (EOMS) standard, built upon the principles of ISO 9001, but specifically designed for educational institutions. While ISO 9001 is a broader quality management system applicable to various organisations, ISO 21001 focuses on the unique aspects of education, including learner satisfaction, staff development, and continuous improvement within the context of teaching and learning. 

It specifies the requirements for a management system tailored to educational organisations that seek to support the acquisition and development of competence through teaching, learning, or research. 

Recognition Education successfully implemented and certified to ISO 21001:2018, affirming its capability to consistently meet learner needs and enhance satisfaction. 

This certification has the organisation's focus on structured quality processes, inclusive learning environments, and outcome-based education. 

In February 2024, ISO 21001 was enhanced with Amendment 1, which introduced specific guidance on incorporating climate action into educational management systems. This amendment reflects a broader international commitment to addressing climate change through institutional responsibility and sustainable practices. The update aligns with the objectives of the London Declaration, which calls for urgent integration of climate-related considerations into all relevant ISO standards. 

For Recognition Education, this amendment encourages the inclusion of climate aware policies and procedures within strategic planning, resource allocation, curriculum development, and stakeholder engagement. 

By adopting this amendment, Recognition Education has reaffirmed its dedication not only to educational excellence but also to environmental stewardship and global sustainability goals. This positions the organiastion at the forefront of socially responsible education delivery, responding to the evolving expectations of learners, partners, and the broader community. 

ISO/IEC 17024:2012 – Certification of Persons 

Overview: 

ISO/IEC 17024 outlines the principles and requirements for a body certifying individuals, ensuring a fair, impartial, and consistent assessment of competence. With its application to become an awarding body, 

Recognition Education obtained ISO/IEC 17024:2012 certification to reinforce the integrity and international recognition of its credentialing programs. The standard serves as a benchmark for developing robust, transparent, and trusted certification processes. 

ISO 29993:2017 – Learning Services Outside Formal Education 

Overview: 

ISO 29993 defines requirements for learning services provided outside formal education systems, such as professional training and lifelong learning programs. 

This certification was achieved to strengthen the organisation’s Training and Development arm. Recognition Education has demonstrated adherence to global best practices in non-formal education, supporting learners through outcomes-focused, engaging, and continuous learning experiences. 

ISO 29994:2021 – Distance Learning Services 

Overview: 

ISO 29994 sets out specific requirements for the design, delivery, and evaluation of distance learning services, ensuring they are effective and learner-focused. 

By obtaining ISO 29994 certification, Recognition Education has confirmed its ability to deliver high-quality, scalable distance learning experiences. This is especially important to its mission of educational accessibility and inclusion through flexible delivery models. 

ISO 29995:2021 – Education and Learning Services Vocabulary 

Overview: 

ISO 29995 provides standardised terminology used across the education and learning sector, enabling clear and consistent communication among stakeholders. 

Recognition Education has adopted this standard to unify language across its five delivery arms—Qualifications, Training and Development, Awarding Body, Partnerships, and Publishing. This enhanced consistency, reduced ambiguity, and supported effective engagement with learners and partners.

Recognition means that we also have to adpt to the markets in which we operate, and got that purpose we have achieved fuerther accredition in the following areas:

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 - Information Technology for Learning, Education, and Training Certification

This certification emphasises our compliance with international standards for technology-enabled learning solutions. It further showcases our commitment to delivering exceptional online learning experiences that meet rigorous quality standards.

ISO/IEC 40180:2017 IT for Learning, Education, and Training

ISO/IEC 40180 provides the fundamentals and reference framework for quality assurance, quality management, and quality improvement in IT-enhanced learning, education, and training (commonly known as E-Learning). 

This certification focuses on ensuring quality throughout the entire e-learning process, from content development to learner assessment.

As Recognition Education expands, it will initially adopt ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System) to establish a strong foundation for sustainable growth and regulatory compliance.Implementing ISO 9001 will ensure consistent, high-quality delivery of qualifications through robust internal processes, clear accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement. This will support operational efficiency, learner satisfaction, and effective quality assurance across all functions.

Adopting ISO/IEC 27001 will provide a structured approach to protecting sensitive learner, assessment, and certification data. It will help mitigate risks, ensure compliance with UK GDPR, and demonstrate our commitment to safeguarding the integrity of all information assets.Together, these standards will play a key role in supporting Recognition Education’s application to Ofqual for the regulation of its qualifications. They demonstrate that the organisation is committed to meeting Ofqual’s General Conditions of Recognition and operating to internationally recognised best practices in quality and data governance.

 Working with Recognition Education has been a transformative experience for our centre and the community we serve. The sessions delivered were not only expertly planned and engaging, but also deeply relevant to the needs of our residents. Many of our learners had limited access to formal education, and the inclusive, supportive approach made them feel valued and empowered. We’ve seen a boost in confidence, skills, and even employment opportunities as a result of their involvement. Recognition Education truly understands what community learning should look like – accessible, inspiring, and life-changing.

 Recognition Education has been an outstanding partner in supporting all of our organisational learning initiatives. What truly sets them apart is their flexible approach—adapting sessions around our centre’s schedule and the varied needs of our learners. Whether through daytime workshops, evening classes, or blended formats, they made learning accessible to everyone, regardless of background or circumstance. This flexibility allowed parents, jobseekers, and older adults alike to participate without barriers. The feedback from our learners has been overwhelmingly positive. Recognition Education delivers more than qualifications—they deliver opportunity."

 I never thought I’d go back into education, but Recognition Education made it possible—and enjoyable. The content was clear, practical, and directly relevant to real life. I learned things I could use straight away, like communication skills, confidence in group settings, and even how to manage projects better. Everything was explained and delivered, whether this was project based, online or face to face, in a way that made sense. In the face to face sessions, the small group environment made it easy to ask questions. I feel more capable now, and I’ve even started applying for jobs I wouldn’t have considered before. It’s been a real turning point for me.
