About Us

Build from real experience, not theory

iQ Training was created to make workplace training simpler, more practical, and genuinely useful.

Why iQ Training Exists

Designed for Today’s Workforce

We deliver fully online, accredited courses designed for real businesses — cutting through generic, box-ticking training and focusing on what actually matters: clear knowledge, confident teams, and safer, more effective operations.

Founded in 2025 by Jamie Stephens, iQ Training is built on a diverse background across hospitality, construction, and security, alongside a strong interest in technology, digital systems, and AI.

That mix of hands-on experience and forward-thinking approach shapes everything we do.

We focus on:

Clear, straightforward training people can actually understand
Practical knowledge that applies in real working environments
Modern, scalable learning built for today’s businesses
Giving organisations confidence in their compliance and their teams

Our mission is simple — to help businesses operate smarter, safer, and with confidence, through training that actually works.

Training You Can Trust

Developed Under the IQ6 Impact CPD Framework

All IQ Training courses are developed and quality assured under the 1Q6 Impact CPD Framework, supporting structured professional development and measurable learning outcomes.

Built around real-world application, compliance alignment and recognised industry standards – giving both learners employers confidence in the quality of training delivered.

Built with Industry Experience

iQ Training isn’t a generic training brand.

Our courses are shaped by hands-on experience in regulated industries, particularly food service, hospitality and small business operations. We understand the pressures businesses face — inspections, audits, staff turnover, and limited time.

This insight allows us to create training that is:

Relevant to real working environments
Practical, not theoretical
Easy to roll out across teams
Suitable for both new starters and experienced staff
Our Commitment to Quality & Continuous Improvement
At iQ Training, quality doesn’t stop at course launch.

All of our learning content is developed, reviewed and maintained using the iQ6 IMPACT CPD Framework — our internal system for ensuring training remains accurate, relevant and aligned with current legislation, guidance and best practice.

The framework allows us to:

Regularly review and update course content
Respond quickly to regulatory or industry changes
Maintain consistent quality across all training levels
Ensure learners and businesses always receive up-to-date guidance
This structured approach ensures our courses don’t just meet standards at launch — they stay compliant, current and effective over time.

More Than Just Courses

iQ Training is being built as a complete compliance learning platform.

Alongside accredited courses, we are developing:

Advanced specialist modules
Sector-specific training pathways
Workplace wellbeing content
Practical resources and inspection-ready materials
AI-supported learning tools for the future
Our goal is to help businesses stay compliant, confident and prepared — without unnecessary complexity.

We needed a reliable way to certify new starters quickly. The course was straightforward, professionally structured and the instant certificate made updating our records simple. It’s exactly what a busy restaurant needs.

Rachel McDonnell Manager, Meadowbrook Residential Care (Cumbria)

Food safety compliance is a priority for us. The training was clear, well organised and suitable for our care staff. Being able to complete it online at flexible times made it practical for shift workers.”

Khalid Rahman Owner, City Flame Grill (Birmingham)

The Level 2 Food Hygiene course was easy to navigate and focused on real kitchen situations. It felt relevant rather than overly technical, which made it easier for staff to engage with.

The allergen awareness training was particularly useful for our front-of-house team. It helped everyone better understand responsibilities and communicate confidently with customers.

We enrolled several team members using a course bundle. The process was smooth, and having certificates available immediately helped us keep our compliance records up to date without delay.
