Endorsement of bespoke training programmes
Employers, training providers, colleges, schools and universities who wish to invest in the development of their staff may find that accredited qualifications are not always entirely appropriate as they are not tailored to the specific needs of the business. By applying to EDI for endorsement, organisations can achieve formal recognition for their in-house programmes. EDI will ensure the programmes meet certain standards in terms of structure, content, learning outcomes, assessment and quality assurance.
Organisations that achieve EDI endorsement of their programmes will benefit from:
- Evidence of external quality assurance and independent audit
- Enhanced value of programmes
- Online registration and certification claim
- Increased motivation of learners
- Improved recruitment and retention on to programmes
- Learner certificates issued by a nationally accredited awarding body
- An opportunity to enhance employee skills, reduce staff turnover and increase productivity
EDI can also provide a service of mapping the programme to national occupational standards which have been developed and agreed by employers within specific sectors in the UK.
Where an organisation does not already have a training programme, EDI can help to develop one from scratch, customised to the organisation’s needs but based on national occupational standards.
