National College of Ireland (NCI) has received a TrustEd Ireland International Education Mark, accredited by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). This prestigious award is granted to Irish education providers, who demonstrate the highest standards in international student recruitment, marketing, admissions, and support.
The TrustEd Ireland Mark is a quality assurance framework developed by QQI to ensure that international students can have confidence in the integrity, transparency, and excellence of Irish education institutions. QQI’s aim is to ensure a quality experience for international learners from pre-enrolment through to the completion of their programme of education.
The TrustEd Ireland Mark signals that an institution adheres to rigorous standards in delivering a safe, supportive, and high-quality experience for students from around the world.
Robert Ward, Director of Marketing and International Development at NCI said:
"We are proud to formally receive the TrustEd Ireland International Education Mark, in recognition of the high quality of our international student recruitment and support. The process to obtain the mark is robust and this accreditation is a great endorsement of our standards and a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our international team and the wider NCI staff. Students travel from around the globe for our relevant programmes, excellent teaching and strong track record with employability. For international students and partners, who assist learners in choosing Ireland as their study destination, this award is a clear signal: you can trust NCI."
NCI has a long-standing reputation for excellence, offering accredited undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in business, computing, psychology, and education. With students from 95 countries, NCI provides an award-winning support programme tailored to the needs of international learners, ensuring they thrive academically and socially.
The TrustEd panel was particularly impressed by the welcome NCI extends to international students: "NCI can be commended for its induction processes and the quality of work demonstrated in this area. The institution's approach to welcoming and integrating international learners was noted as exceptional."
This achievement comes at a significant time for NCI, as the college prepares to celebrate its 75th Anniversary in 2026. Receiving the TrustEd Ireland Mark validates NCI’s commitment to quality and underpins its mission to change lives through education.
