ITT works closely with employers to ensure that industry qualifications meet the needs of both individuals and organisations and uphold the best in quality assurance. We have therefore developed an accreditation programme specifically for employers. This gives employers recognition for their in-house training from a recognised industry body.

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.
