IQ Education

Delivery staff spend too much time moving between systems, piecing together a picture of each learner from separate screens and records. The Summer 2026 release of IQ for Education fixes that.

The learner record now brings everything together in one view — ePortfolio activity, English, maths and digital skills progress, evidence, and off-the-job training records — so your team can focus on learners, not admin.

• Get a complete picture of every learner at a glance, without switching screens
• Record evidence and off-the-job hours in one place, reducing errors and admin time
• Give employers real-time visibility of learner progress
• Reduce data inconsistency caused by working across old and new interfaces
• Onboard new staff faster with a simpler, more consistent platform

Less time navigating. More time supporting learners.

Our Learner Management System in IQ for Education now runs on a modern, cloud-native foundation. Your platform scales automatically during busy periods — programme starts, DfE submission windows — and updates arrive continuously with no downtime and nothing for you to manage.

Rolling out to customers during the summer

•  Stay confident during peak periods with automatic scaling
• Receive continuous improvements without disruptive upgrade cycles
• Build on a stable, resilient platform designed to grow with your provision

IQ for Education's new Cognassist integration makes early identification of cognitive needs the default, not the exception. Learners are enrolled for assessment automatically at registration, reports appear directly in the learner record, and support identification is built into the standard learner journey.
