ITT ACCREDITATION      
     

As part of ITT’s mission to raise professional standards in the industry, the ITT Accreditation programme recognises those companies who offer excellent training and development for industry staff. The Accreditation programme has been developed specifically to give these employers recognition from the industry’s professional institute and provides them with evidence of their commitment to developing both individuals and organisation.

Successful recipients of the ITT Accreditation Scheme include:

  • Carlson Wagonlit
  • Travel Counsellors
  • The Caravan Club
  • Home Learning Direct
  • Fairmont Hotels and Resorts
  • Travel Weekly Academy
  • Citybond Insurance

Sue Kavanagh, HR Director at Carlson Wagonlit said: "Carlson Wagonlit Travel has been involved with the ITT Accreditation programme for several years now. At CWT we feel it important to recognise the achievements of our staff. We found that for staff passing a training course that is run internally but also has external accreditation is very motivating for the teams. They see the ITT as an important body in the travel industry and feel to have attended a training course that is accredited by the ITT is something definitely worth having. There is also a recognition of the quality of the training programmes that we run and endorses what we are doing internally within the organisation. It is therefore a great acknowledgement for CWT and also for the employees who complete the training programmes."


What is ITT accreditation?

ITT accreditation is a simple, quick and easy way to add value to your existing staff development and training programmes. We work with you to endorse your well established training programmes by various assessment criteria.

What are the benefits of ITT accreditation?


  • A cost effective, quick and simple process that adds value
  • Recognition by a well established industry body in work related qualifications
  • Assurance that training meets recognised quality standards
  • Extra recognition of employees’ skills and performance
  • A demonstration of added commitment to staff development
  • Company owned certificate, badge or other required recognition of achievement, jointly branded with ITT
  • Increased PR opportunities
  • An additional selling point to potential employees

What is involved?


The accreditation process involves a formal assessment of your in-house training programme. An ITT approved Consultant, who has extensive knowledge and experience of your industry, will look at your existing practices and see how they meet our specified criteria. The training programme should:


  • Have a high level of quality and be delivered by competent staff
  • Cater to the needs of the audience
  • Demonstrate innovation

You will also be supplied with a checklist which indicates the information you will need to provide to support your application for accreditation. This focuses on areas such as:

  • Quality assurance
  • Management structures
  • Resources

Once assessment has taken place, you will be provided with formal feedback indicating whether you have been successful in gaining accreditation and if not, providing guidance on areas that need to be addressed.

Will we have to change our processes to be in line with ITT?

No, our accreditation process is designed to be straightforward and flexible so we can meet your needs and maintain the highest levels of quality standards. Whilst we may request additional information and/or make recommendations, we do not expect you to make significant changes to your procedures. We want to provide you with recognition of your quality processes.

How long will the process take?

The whole process from initial contact to full accreditation takes approximately 8 weeks. Dates for submission during the year are:

1 September
1 November
1 January
1 March
1 May
1 July

Will employees receive a certificate?

We will provide you with the ‘Accredited by ITT’ logo for appropriate use. You can decide whether you prefer to issue certificates, employee badges or learning passports as a way of showing completion of accredited training.
