CCT College Dublin among first cohort of Higher Education Institutions authorised to use TrustEd Ireland Quality Mark
CCT College Dublin is delighted to confirm that it is one of the first 28 Higher Education Institutions in Ireland to have been designated an Authorised TrustEd Ireland provider: Higher Education Pathway.
The TrustEd Ireland mark is a symbol of quality, care and confidence. It is awarded to Higher Education and English Language Education providers who have demonstrated their commitment to delivering a quality and consistent learning experience for international students. TrustEd Ireland providers have successfully met the rigorous national standards set by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). These standards ensure that international learners are supported from pre-enrolment through to completion of their programme, with protections in place for transparency, learner welfare and academic quality.
James Lawless, TD, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science made the following announcement on February 4th 2026:
“The introduction of TrustEd Ireland reflects my Department’s commitment to upholding and enhancing the quality and integrity of Irish education. Ireland is the first country in the world to develop a national quality mark for international education like this. It is only awarded to providers that meet rigorous national standards and will provide assurance to those looking to study in Ireland that they will benefit from a quality and supportive education experience with providers that are awarded the TrustEd mark”.
