Programme Aim
The Skills Broker Endorsed Award aims to ensure that accredited Skills Brokers delivering the Train to Gain service are: credible to employers, effective in assisting employers to meet their training needs and capable of adding public value by helping employers see the value of sustained investments in skills, in line with their business goals.
Skills Broker Framework
The award is made up of five sections based on the SFEDI National Occupational Standards for Business Support and specialist Skills Broker Units:
- Personal Professional Development
- Building Business Support Relationships
- Delivering Business Support
- Increasing Capacity for Skills Development
- Brokering Skills Development
Who is this award for?
This qualification is for those working in the role of Skills Broker on Train to Gain contracts. It is also suitable for anyone who is in an employer engagement role, working with a training provider.Delivery
Every candidate will have a personal assessor allocated to them.
A typical journey towards achieving the qualification will involve:
- Completion of a self-assessment against the award framework
- An initial meeting with your assessor to review your existing skills/current role. Together you will plan how you will demonstrate that you meet the standards and how you will fill any gaps through a development plan.
- Observation(s) by your assessor of you carrying out your role, feedback and discussion.
- Gathering evidence to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the qualification.
- A final professional discussion and agreement of ongoing professional development.
You would normally be expected to complete the qualification within 12 months.
What about training and development?
As with other SFEDI awards, you are not required to attend specific courses or programmes of study. Where you identify a gap in your knowledge or performance you decide, in consultation with your assessor, how you will fill that gap.
WMQC offers various workshops and/or mentoring to meet your specific needs. Your assessor will be able to discuss these with you.
