Training Quality Standard
The Training Quality
Standard is an assessment framework and an assessment and certification
process which has been designed to recognise and celebrate the best
organisations delivering training and development solutions to employers.
The Training Quality Standard
has been designed to reflect employers' priorities and expectations in sourcing
training and development solutions, and the practices of the organisations
proven to be the best at delivering them.
Certification against the Training Quality Standard is tough to achieve, so we can be confident in endorsing organisations to employers. Consequently, the Standard is something which organisations can aspire to, and be proud of when they achieve it. Framework The Training Quality Standard framework is built on an evidence base of employer needs and provider practice. This is deployed through established industry methods for the assessment of quality, capability and improvement. The Training Quality Standard has been developed with the intention of driving through a cultural change in the delivery of training and development. The assessment framework has a focus on two linked but ultimately very different delivery competencies: Responding to the needs of employers as individual
customers
This is covered in Part A of the Standard, assessing organisations for their responsiveness Developing and deploying products to address particular sector needs This is covered in Part B of the Standard, assessing organisations for their expertise. Part A is for all organisations delivering training and development solutions; Part B focuses on those areas where organisations have expertise, having already demonstrated their ability to serve employers through Part A. The Training Quality Standard's assessment framework creates a common language through which organisations can tell their stories of how they achieve against the tasks defined by the key concepts. The framework isn't prescriptive; it defines what a provider should be doing rather than how, and asks organisations applying for assessment to tell their story from strategy, through approaches, to achievements. After extensive consultation with our lead providers Cogent has developed two Part B’s for the following sectors: >> Nuclear >> Process Industries Both are available to download via the following link. http://www.trainingqualitystandard.co.uk/page.php?p=91 Further details regarding the Standard can be obtained from Training Quality Standard website. www.trainingqualitystandard.co.uk
