About the UK Register of Learning Providers

Introduction

The UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) is the portal for government departments, agencies, learners, and employers to share key information about learning providers.

The UKRLP allows providers to update their information in one place and share this across agencies such as the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), the Office for Students (OfS) and UCAS.

Since provider registration opened on 1 August 2005, the UKRLP has grown to more than 50,000 providers.

These providers have been verified against a recognised external source and allocated a UK Provider Reference Number (UKPRN). This is the unique identifier used to share information with the UKRLP partner agencies.

Accreditation

The UKRLP does not quality assure or accredit the learning provision of the registered providers in any way.
