TQS

The Training Quality Standard (TQS) is an assessment framework designed to recognise and celebrate the best organsiations delivering training and development solutions to employers. TQS has been designed to reflect employers' priorities and expectations in sourcing training and development solutions, and the practices of the organisations proven to be the best at delivering them.

The TQS framework is built on an evidence base of employer needs and provider practice, deployed through established industry methods for the assessment of quality, capability and improvement. The framework isn’t prescriptive; it defines what a provider should be doing rather than how, and asks organisations applying for assessment to tell their story from strategy, through approaches, to achievements.

The Standard is split into two parts:

Part A – Assesses the Applicant's responsiveness to the needs of employers as individual customers

Part B – Assesses the Applicant's responsiveness to a particular sector and how it develops and deploys products to address these sector needs

Part A is for all organisations delivering training and development solutions; Part B focuses on those areas where organisations have expertise, having already demonstrated their ability to serve employers through Part A.
