EAL update on CTD Quickstep

Update: 05/03/2025

EAL is aware that a training provider offering EAL qualifications, CTD Quickstep has entered insolvency. This is a complex and fast changing situation. We have made a notification to the regulator, Ofqual, are in discussions with TESP, and are looking to work with the insolvency practitioner.

Whilst we appreciate that learners will be concerned, we conducted an external quality review with the provider in October 2024 and found no issues in terms of quality.

We appreciate this will be stressful for individuals enrolled on courses with this provider, as they will be concerned about their learning journey.

In the first instance, we encourage learners to contact CTD Quickstep directly via their website, and wait for a response from the insolvency company.

We also recommend that impacted learners:  

• Save their e-portfolio or learning records 

If you have online access to your portfolio or learning records, we recommend ensuring that you have offline access, via download or printing a hard copy.  

• Share your contact details with us 

In order that we can establish how many active EAL learners are  impacted by this news, we are asking individuals who believe they may be registered and actively progressing on an EAL qualification with CTD Quickstep to submit this form. This will enable us to contact you directly, as we establish more information about the provider’s situation in the coming days. 

Once you have completed the form, if you are enrolled in an EAL qualification, our Customer Experience Team will be in touch to provide you with our records of your progress. 

We will use our website to provide updates as the situation develops.
