Skills Assurance:

  • Benchmarks your workforce skills to the industry Gold Standard.
  • Identifies skills gaps and opportunities for performance improvement.
  • Provides employers with the confidence that any training undertaken is fit-for-purpose, via the Skills Academy's accredited provider network.

Skills Assurance is a process designed to measure and monitor the skills in your workplace, identifying skills gaps and opportunities for performance improvement. A member of the Academy Team will provide you with a customised plan and will connect you with Academy Accredited training providers to close any gaps. 

The Gold Standard

The Gold Standard is a competency framework for individuals. It is delivered through a suite of industry-designed generic job-roles. These range from Level 2 job roles through to professional positions. Each standard describes the competency requirements of the role and the corresponding qualifications and training standards that underpin the delivery of individual competence.
