Training Quality Standard: information for employers
Why has the Training Quality Standard been developed?
The standard has been developed to help employers by:
- creating a quality mark which will highlight the best public and private organisations from which to access training and development solutions;
- setting a higher standard for accreditation, to trigger a cultural shift among training and development providers, encouraging them to aspire to greater flexibility, relevance and commitment to continuous improvement.
Who has been awarded the Training Quality Standard?
All providers who have been certificated with the standard have been assessed as having met the requirements of Part A which recognises the organisation’s ability to respond to the needs of employers as individual customers. Some organisations will have also been assessed as having met the requirements of Part B in respect of one or more areas of expertise.
Part B determines an organisation’s ability to develop and deploy products to address particular sector needs. Organisations who have demonstrated expertise in one or more of the areas within the SummitSkills sector footprint will be listed as having expertise in building services engineering.
Training Quality Standard Part B certification of expertise in construction and/or engineering does not cover the occupations within the SummitSkills sector footprint.
