IATP & OCN Credit4Learning: Together we raise the bar:

These days, people want more value for money, at the same time they demand the highest quality too. How can training providers assure their clients that they are providing a quality service without having to incur huge extra costs? It can be a real challenge, in a competitive market place when price is so often king, but it is also really important to balance price against quality, especially in a health and safety environment where the needs of the learners and clients have to be paramount. That is where OCN Credit4Learning can support training providers, not only in obtaining a competitive advantage, but also in delivering high quality training that benefits their clients, learners and reputation.

This is one of the reasons we at OCN Credit4Learning are excited to be working in partnership with IATP. IATP is working hard to raise the bar in the Asbestos training field, and we fully support the hard work that is going on in delivering important and high quality training with this hazardous substance. By working in partnership with IATP and accrediting a number of their courses, we can provide the quality assurance that customers are demanding.

Recognition for Quality Training:

Accreditation is all about quality assurance and providing extra recognition for the learner’s skills, and the training providers’ service. OCN Credit4Learning has a long history of providing bespoke accreditation and support for numerous organisations up and down the country. Working with a range of organizations from University’s to Prisons, from Charities and NHS Trusts to Independent Training Providers we have built our reputation on developing a cost effective, efficient and user friendly accreditation service, and hence assuring your learners and clients of the quality of the training they are receiving.

This is one of the main reasons we are working with IATP, we recognise the efforts that they have made to raise standards, and give their clients and learners more. IATP have recently accredited a number of courses through us, this means that IATP members who opt to deliver OCN Credit4Learning accredited courses have an extra opportunity that they can offer their clients. Their course, their style of delivery remains the same, they can still tailor it to their particular clients needs, however, it will now be independently verified by OCN Credit4Learning, which in turn provides the client with the quality assurance, and confidence that a third party is objectively checking and supporting the standards of the training provided.

How it works:

OCN Credit4Learning is a membership organisation, and membership is a privilege that we will only give to organisations that are progressive minded, and have quality assurance procedures, appeals procedures and equal opportunities procedures. Furthermore, we will work closely with training providers to recognize the courses they have developed to map them to academic levels, and accredit the course at the agreed level. Once a course has been accredited, we will also attach learning credits which are nationally recognised in Further Education as underpinning knowledge, this helps give the course a currency that the learner can use for their own personal development.

Finally we moderate our members. When a training provider registers a group of learners we will send one of our moderators to visit the training provider and review the Assessment materials; ensuring that this matches what was agreed when the course was approved for accreditation. Therefore, the training provider, the client and the learner all gain from the quality assurance provided by the accreditation process.

You’re in Control:

The important thing to remember about all this process is that it is your course that has been accredited, not ours. Therefore the course that you the training provider has developed is being recognised, and rather then having to adopt external learning methods and materials, your unique training package is being recognised and supported by an Accreditation body.

Supporting IATP’s Quality:

It is a privilege to be working with IATP to help pioneer and develop the quality of training in this sector. IATP as a Community of Training Providers is a unique partner to work with; therefore, we have developed a specialist model to support the members of IATP in delivering high quality accredited courses at a price that their clients can afford. As mentioned above, the courses will remain unique to the training provider, they will remain specialist and bespoke, but the clients who buy into IATP training accredited through OCN Credit4Learning will receive that extra level of quality assurance that comes from accreditation.
