An awarding and end-point assessment organisation specialising in health and physical activity qualifications has been acquired by NCFE.
Active IQ (previously owned by US-based firm Ascend Learning) brings with it over 30,000 learners on its vocational qualifications and 1,600 apprentices, extending NCFEs reach in areas such as personal training, fitness, and leisure management.
NCFE said Active IQ will continue to operate independently as a distinct brand owing to its “highly respected” position in the marketplace.
According to its latest accounts, Active IQ generated £4 million in income in its 2020/21 financial year and employed 42 staff. All current staff will be retained, NCFE said.
