Understanding the National Quality Standard Awards
What are the National Quality Standard Awards?
The National Quality Standard Awards (NQS) are the most respected awards in the Irish leisure, health, and fitness industry. Previously known as the White Flag Awards, they have been in operation since 2001 and stand as the only industry-specific award in the sector. The awards recognize operational excellence and are granted across three distinct levels:
- Outstanding
- Exceeded
- Achieved
Why are these Awards Important?
The NQS Awards encourage facilities to strive for and maintain the highest operational standards. Applying for and achieving these awards helps facilities to:
- Ensure the highest standards are provided in the crucial areas of Customer Engagement, HR, Safety, and Hygiene.
- Lead by example in terms of professionalizing the Leisure, Health & Fitness industry.
- Enhance your reputation within the Leisure, Health & Fitness industry.
We look forward to continuing to provide an outstanding experience for all our members and
students across all our award-winning sites!
