The legal name, company number and incorporation date behind Asas College, with a practical guide to checking records and programme credentials.
Knowing the organisation behind a learning provider is a useful first step before choosing a course. The certificate of incorporation supplied for Asas College names ASAS EXCELLENCE COLLEGE LTD, company number 17318908, incorporated on 3 July 2026. These details identify the legal company and provide a starting point for checking its public record.
Check the same legal identity
Search Companies House using the number, then compare the legal name with the name on your enrolment agreement and payment instructions. Save the relevant documents together. If a trading name appears on the website, ask how it relates to the contracting company before you pay. A company record can change, so consult the live register when making a decision.
Separate registration from academic recognition
Incorporation establishes a company; it does not itself grant degree-awarding powers or certify a course. UKRLP registration also has a distinct administrative purpose. For any programme, request the exact award title, the issuing organisation and any applicable approval or recognition evidence. Check these with the issuing or regulatory body concerned.
Make your enquiry specific
Send the programme title and intended country of use to info@asas-college.com. Ask for a written explanation of the certificate and delivery arrangements. Keeping identity, teaching and awarding information separate makes it easier to compare options and prevents assumptions based on a logo or registration number alone.
A practical check across three documents
Imagine comparing a programme page, an enrolment offer and a preliminary invoice. Record the organisation named on each document and its number, then open the official register directly. If a trading name differs from the legal name, ask for a written explanation of the relationship. Check the proposed certificate issuer separately: one organisation may teach while another issues the award. This separates the identity of the contracting party, the service being purchased and recognition of the qualification.
Keep evidence that supports your decision
Save the register link, the date you checked it and the version of the programme offer you relied on. If your purpose is further study or entry to a regulated profession, contact the institution or professional body that would receive the certificate. Specify the award, issuer and delivery method. A general response about a different institution does not answer that question. If the offer changes, update your file and clarify the consequences before making a further financial or study commitment.
