Telc – language tests (Telc) has surrendered its status as an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation.
Telc informed Ofqual in December 2025 of its intention to surrender recognition. Telc has no outstanding students for its regulated provision.
The surrender took effect as of 18 December 2025. From this date, no qualifications offered by Telc are regulated by Ofqual.

Telc has provided assurance to Ofqual that there has been no adverse effect on any students as a result of this surrender.
When awarding organisations are considering surrendering their recognition, we stand ready to discuss the options for proceeding while ensuring students are protected.
