What are the benefits of in-house qualification delivery?

Many employer organisations choose to deliver qualifications in-house by becoming a City & Guilds (or ILM) approved centre. The benefits include:

 

Relevance

All content and examples can be specific to your organisation’s unique context and culture, making it easier for employees to apply their learning.

 

 

 

 

Ownership

Your L&D team have full control over who’s doing what and when, ensuring that processes are streamlined with minimal admin.

                                                                                     




 

Flexibility

For many ILM (leadership and management) qualifications, you can change the assessment methods to suit your environment and preferences, as long as the assessment criteria are still met.


 

 

Commercial opportunities

Some employers create their own training academies that operate as a revenue stream, offering qualifications to external organisations, as well as their own employees.

   



How does an organisation offer qualifications in-house?

Through our consultancy services, we can help you get set up for internal delivery, advising on the capacity and capability you need to have in place.

You’d work with our Technical Advisors, who have a wealth of experience in their respective sectors and can build your knowledge of best practice for curriculum planning, delivery and more.
