Quality Improvement Agency

The Quality Improvement Agency (QIA) is a Non-Departmental Public Body of the United Kingdom government whose remit is to support those institutions that provide education, but which are not schools or universities. This covers a broad range of institutions, ranging from further education colleges, prison education to workplace training and various other types of education and training.

The QIA was created in March 2006 from the Learning and Skills Development Agency (LSDA)
