The Quaternary glaciation is still ongoing, beginning 2.6 million years ago.
However, the most recent glacial episode ended about 11,700 years ago, at the start of the current Holocene epoch. During the Pleistocene, glaciers reached their maximum prior extent about 15,000 years ago.

No, the most recent glaciation ended gradually between 10,000 and 6,000 years ago, but this was only one of many glaciations which occurred during the present ice age which started over 2.5 million years ago.
The most recent ice age ended how many years ago?
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'last ice age'. But the use of 'ice age' is incorrect. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. The end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.

The most recent ice age, known as the Pleistocene Ice Age, ended around 11,700 years ago.

The shift was marked by rising global temperatures and melting ice sheets.
When did the most recent ice age begin and end?
Strictly speaking the most recent Ice Age started about 2.6 million years ago and we are now in an interglacial period,(warm period), during the Ice Age. The last glacial period started 115,000 years ago and finished about 10,000 years ago, though there were a number of warmer periods during that time.
