The Quality Mark Service from Standards Verification UK
Quality deserves to be recognised Our UK-wide Quality Mark service gives you the opportunity to submit customised qualifications, CPD programmes, and resources for expert verification against professional and National Occupational Standards (NOS) and units of assessment developed by LLUK. Standards Verification UK brings long-standing expertise of standards application and review processes to a service that is both robust and flexible.
“Thanks to the recognition provided through SVUK, the Integrating language, literacy and numeracy skills in the workplace course run by LLU+ offers a qualification recognising both teaching and subject specialist development.” Beth Kelly, Programme Director for Skills for Life Development in the Workplace, Community and Workforce Development Division LLU+, London South Bank University
Standards Verified – the benefits We are robust in that we only award our Quality Mark when applicants can show: • appropriate selection of professional or national occupational standards effectively embedded in the qualification, programme, or resource; and • a rigorous approach to quality assurance. We are flexible in that our service is tailored to the needs of each application and includes a free initial assessment of the scale of the verification required.
Gaining the Standards Verified mark ✔ shows a reputable national organisation recognises the quality of your scheme ✔ shows your learners, staff and the sector that your scheme meets national standards ✔ verifies that you are achieving quality and gives your scheme credibility
“It (the programme) brought together students from a range of professional backgrounds with a single aim – to extend their understanding of learning in their work environments prompting me to radically re-evaluate my approach to teaching and learning. The programme also kindled a passion for further discovery; consequently I am still an avid student in search of knowledge.” Gladys Sutcliffe who successfully completed the Standards Verified Certificate in work based learning (WBL) at Buckinghamshire New University
In a recent survey of SVUK Quality Mark holders, two thirds of respondents would consider applying for further quality marks and 85% would recommend the service to others. Source: SVUK
