The Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) welcomes genuine education and training organisations from around the world to become IPS Approved Training Providers.
Approved Training Providers can introduce their students to IPS tuition-free Programs and provide local guidance and support, while official IPS online learning is delivered through the IPS portal.
Whether you are an established training organisation, professional education provider or specialist learning centre, becoming an IPS Approved Training Provider can expand the opportunities you offer to your students.
IPS provides the official online learning environment for its Programs.
Students can choose to:
Receive local guidance and support from an approved provider while completing their official IPS studies through the IPS portal.
Enrol with IPS as an external candidate and complete the Program independently through the IPS portal.
Both options provide access to IPS tuition-free Programs.
Approved Training Providers can support students by:
– Introducing students to IPS Programs
– Providing program information and orientation
– Helping students understand available study pathways
– Providing general study guidance and encouragement
– Helping students navigate the IPS portal
– Providing local student support
– Promoting IPS Programs within their community or professional network
Providers remain independent organisations. They do not replace the IPS online learning platform or deliver the official IPS Program content.
IPS Programs are tuition-free.
This allows learners from different backgrounds and countries to access professional development opportunities without paying tuition fees for IPS Programs.
Students can study at their own pace through the IPS portal, with the additional option of receiving support from an IPS Approved Training Provider.
IPS currently provides Programs in areas including:
– Economics
– Finance
– Management
– Marketing
As IPS develops, additional areas of professional learning may become available.
Programs include different stages of development, providing learners with opportunities to progress through their chosen area of study.
Students who successfully complete the applicable requirements may choose to obtain an official IPS Program Certificate.
IPS Program Certificates are issued exclusively by the Institute of Professional Studies.
An Approved Training Provider does not issue or award IPS Certificates.
IPS welcomes applications from genuine organisations involved in education, training or professional development.
Potential applicants include:
– Independent training providers
– Education institutions
– Professional education organisations
– Vocational and training organisations
– Corporate training providers
– Continuing education providers
– Specialist learning centres
– Professional development organisations

Organisations do not need to be large or operate internationally. Small and specialised providers are also welcome to apply.
IPS primarily wants to work with organisations that are genuine, responsible and capable of supporting students.
Applicants should generally:
– Have a legitimate educational or training purpose
– Be identifiable and verifiable as an organisation
– Have appropriate educational or training activities
– Be able to provide reasonable student support

IPS is building a network of independent education and training organisations that can help make tuition-free professional education accessible to learners around the world.
