Assured - recognition of world-class training
Our Assured service is an internationally recognised seal of approval and a business improvement tool, showing you how to take your training from good to great.
We evaluate your training programmes against our benchmark to see how they meet our quality criteria. We do not undertake a critique of the content of the training programme, but we will make sure that it caters to the needs of your learners and meets our quality standards. The Assured service adds value to any training no matter the content, format or length. We can recognise both face-to-face and e-learning, assessed or non-assessed training and even training in local languages.
