QAICL Excellence Awards Scheme™

This is a new service, launched to meet the needs of the service sector and specialist suppliers dealing directly with the public. It is designed to promote and encourage the concept that good quality service should be recognised and furthermore promoted, to the overall benefit of all parties concerned.

The QAICL Excellence Awards Scheme™, is open to all companies¹ and relies upon recommendations from the users of the service they provide, or from good reports that are generated in the media, especially where such service is deemed exemplary and worthy of particular recognition by QAICL, as a Certification awarding body.

The rules are simple. Recommendations for an award may be brought to the attention of the Directors of QAICL, by members of the public, as direct users of a service. Additionally, such deserving companies may also be selected by the Directors, based upon positive reports from the media and social sites, or even the direct experiences of the Directors, as they come across such providers in performance of their day to day duties.

Awards are based upon equally simple and visible criteria, namely:

  • Bronze – Commendation based on media and social sites (third party feedback – Award duration 12 Months)
  • Silver – Commendation for service quality based upon direct user experience (Usually the 2nd Party in a transaction, or alternatively, independent witness testimony – Award duration 12 Months)
  • Gold – Validated quality of service by QAICL Staff Users or Contracted Mystery Shopper (Award duration 12 Months)
  • Platinum – Validated² quality of service by QAICL Mystery Shopper/Audit personnel to specific criteria (Award duration 12 Months)

To nominate an organisation for a QAICL – Excellent Service Award simply email us at  ukregister@gmail.com.

Note¹. For the purposes of maintaining impartiality and avoid a conflict of interest, this Scheme is not available to Companies currently registered with QAICL, as they are deemed to already hold a relevant hallmark of excellence, by virtue of being awarded a QAICL Certificate of Registration.

Note². The Platinum Award can only be achieved in collaboration with the interested organisation, whereby audit criteria can be established and agreed in advance. In order to validate quality of service, QAICL will deploy its own ‘impartial’ evaluators. This Award can be used as a contribution toward formal Registration of an Organisation’s Management System under ISO Standards, where mapped in advance with QAICL and subject to QAICL’s available ‘Scope of Operations³’.

Note³. None of the above awards should be deemed to confer any element of accreditation from Member Bodies of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), nor be deemed to suggest Registration to the ISO Standards, of which QAICL itself provides Certification as an accredited and own-brand scheme registrar.
