Ireland’s Fastest-Growing Online Education Agency: Elephant and Cross

Elephant and Cross are Ireland’s newest online education agency! For years students across Ireland have been contacting us for QQI/NFQ courses. It’s clear students from Ireland (like all students) want flexible, affordable, accredited online education options. Our mission is to connect students in Ireland with well-established, regulated education institutes, never at any additional cost. 

Our courses are 100% online, accredited by respected bodies such as Qualifi, OTHM, and IAB, and regulated by Ofqual. These qualifications are equivalent to NFQ standards, but their value goes even further. They act as a “global passport,” giving Irish students the confidence to pursue opportunities abroad without the need for additional certification.
