However, accredited operators or related business entities will not be able to use or display the T-QUAL Tick until a sub-licence has been signed with their T-QUAL endorsed quality assurance scheme.

Businesses and operators that wish to be become accredited under a T-QUAL endorsed quality assurance scheme should contact that scheme directly.
