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
