Training & Qualifications based on Standards
One of the key uses of Standards is to provide a nationally recognised framework for training and qualifications.
They can be used to inform, structure and develop unaccredited and accredited training, including that provided by professional bodies and Higher Education Institutions.
Providers of training and qualifications are encouraged to benchmark their courses to the standards and to inform Skills - Third Sector when they do so, so that information can be posted on this website.
