Skills and Education Group Awards and BIIAB have launched a new product – the Accredited Training Programme (ATP).
Sitting outside the regulated qualification market, ATP enables training providers to gain accreditation in order to evidence the quality of their learning programmes.
Read on to find out more about ATP and how it could benefit your organisation.
Stand out with accreditation from renowned organisations
Skills and Education Group Awards and BIIAB are nationally recognised awarding organisations. They are also part of the wider Skills and Education Group – a charitable organisation with over 100 years of experience in the education sector.
Accreditation from us indicates the quality of your programmes and is a great way to stand out from your competitors. You’ll be able to use our Accredited Centre logo to help advertise your programmes and raise your profile.
Retain full ownership of your programmes
With ATP, your programmes still belong to you. As the specialists who have developed the programme, you retain full ownership, meaning no other organisation can access your unique provision.
ATP therefore provides the best of both worlds – you get accreditation from prestigious organisations but your programmes remain your own. This will be showcased on dual-branded certificates for your learners, featuring our logo alongside yours.
Wraparound quality assurance and support
If you are already delivering courses in house, then ATP is a great way to enhance them further. With our external quality assurance and customer support, you can take your programmes to the next level.
As part of the service, the content and quality of each programme will be audited by an independent Skills and Education Group Awards or BIIAB Quality Adviser. Furthermore, our ATP team will evaluate your learning outcomes and assessment criteria to make sure they match your scheme of work. They will also identify the policies you need to smoothly deliver, assess, and verify your programmes.
Our Relationship Management team will always be on hand to provide support. Your Relationship Manager is your main point of contact and will help ATP to work for you.
“ATP gives customers the reassurance that they have the quality processes in place to confidently grow their audience. Customers retain full ownership of their programmes and can choose accreditation from either of our renowned awarding organisations. So many amazing programmes are created and delivered by the sector, and ATP is the perfect way to showcase them.”
Kaye Jackson, Head of Relationship Management
Registration and certification made easy
Our secure, user-friendly learner registration portal makes it easy for you to register learners, find the guidance you need, and access both paper certificates and e-certificates.
We offer a flexible approach to learner management. You can register learners and claim certification all at once at the end of the programme, saving you time and hassle.
Tailored to you
Whatever your field, it is likely that ATP can benefit you. As long as there is no overlap with a regulated qualification, we can add value to your offer. We have already provided accreditation for a wide range of programmes – covering topics such as the service and repair of electric vehicles, software engineering, and peer-supported training. We will tailor ATP to ensure that it’s always the best fit for you.
“The Accredited Training Programme has provided us with the flexibility for our bespoke business language courses. Not only do our learners receive professional recognition of their accomplishments, but they also have the confidence that the course and assessments have been quality-assured by a nationally recognised awarding body.”
Juliet Park, The Language Alliance
