iQQTV is dedicated to ensuring that students have access to the information, advice and guidance they need to make informed decisions on their progression after Year 11. We offer a range of activities, suitable for Year 8 through to Year 13, to help develop knowledge and inspire students to think about their future career pathways.
Our activities are compliant with the Provider Access legislation that came into force in January 2023, and provide opportunities for students to get:
information about iQQTV and the qualifications or apprenticeships that we offer
information about the careers that our qualifications or apprenticeships can lead to, including many examples from the hundreds of local and national employers we work with
descriptions about life at iQQTV, helping students learn what learning with us looks like
responses to questions about us, our qualifications and apprenticeships
Working with us also helps your school meet the Gatsby Benchmarks, giving impartial careers information, advice and guidance to help students develop aspirations and learn how to achieve them.

Contact Our Schools Liaison Officer
Acton High School has worked with iQQTV to provide introductions to apprenticeships and taster sessions in some of their vocational courses. We hope to collaborate more in the future as we have always found them to be really helpful and efficient.
Simone Stocks, Acton High School
The collaboration between Tomorrow’s People at Ark Burlington Danes Academy and iQQTV has been incredibly valuable this year. In particular with my group of Year 11 students, allowing them to be clearer on a variety of post 16 options in Further Education and Apprenticeships and explore these in depth through taught sessions and fantastic open
days and taster evenings. Rebecca has also provided comprehensive and detailed careers sessions, bespoke to my students, on a variety of different topics which has helped the students to have a clearer understanding of their future career aspirations and pathways they can take to achieve these. I look forward to the partnership continuing into the next academic year!
Vincenza De Falco, Tomorrow’s People at Ark Burlington Danes Academy
We have worked with iQQTV over the course of the academic year. Their support to our students have been fantastic. They offer a wide range of courses and have members of staff who are experts in their fields. We have had visits during assembly and careers week in which students were able to hear about courses and college life in general. We look forward to working with them next year
Beth Curtis, Guru Nanak Sikh Academy

Sophie Harrowes, Hammersmith Academy
It has been wonderful to form a direct link between iQQTV and Gumley House Convent School this year. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the taster sessions and we look forward to returning next year.
Jane Pick, Gumley House Convent School
I want to thank you for an amazing day at your college, it was really fun. I enjoyed both taster sessions in ICT and Catering. I found the virtual reality experience really fun. The catering session was great. The current iQQTV students helped us were really good.
Chelsea, Student at Gumley House Convent Schoo
Today, we went to iQQTV, it was really fun and I wish we could have stayed longer. We had our first session about virtual reality (VR). It was awesome and weird
at the same time being in the VR headset! Then we went to catering, it was really fun. We made a vegetable frittata. I liked cracking the eggs. I enjoyed holding the knife and finding out how to chop with it correctly. Thank you for letting us come to your college.
Tian, Student at Gumley House Convent School
It is great to work with a forward thinking and vibrant college. The iQQTV team are always on hand and eager to liaise with schools, deliver workshops and organise bespoke activities.
