Technical Support
You will be appointed a Submission Support Manager to help you towards submitting your application, however should you require technical support for whatever reason - time constraints, reassurance or simply if new to delivering training - PD:Approval can provide one of our expert advisers who each have at least 15 years of individual experience of supporting new training providers through accreditation.
Not only can we help you collate the evidence for your submission, but we also have learning materials that are already mapped to your chosen qualification so you don’t have to do it yourself. Alternatively, if you are already using your own materials then we can map them to the ICREPs Global Standards for you and find the gaps, if any. If there are gaps then you have the option of creating your own additional materials or letting us provide them for you (fee applies).
Our advisers have been working in the field a long time and have seen everything so if you are unsure of how to develop the evidence or just need some focus, please contact us for a free 15 minute no obligation virtual consultation chat. If further technical support is required, our advisers will be able to direct you on how to progress and how long it might take, as well as advise you on any costs should you wish to go ahead. All fees are payable in advance.
To find out more and request a consultation chat, please contact us.
Qualification Syllabus
The Qualification Syllabus details the knowledge and competencies that must be covered in your qualification, you will find it in the Accreditation Pack we will send you presented in the form of a mapping toolkit. By completing the toolkit, you will be able to show us where in your training materials you will be delivering each aspect and how it will be assessed. If you are using PD:Approval's manual and assessment, there will be no need to complete any mapping.
The Qualification Syllabus is a great resource to use which will guide you when putting together your qualification in line with the ICREPs Global Standards. If you need support on how to map, then please contact us at and we can help you through it. Alternatively, we can save you time and map your qualification materials to the ICREPs Global Standards for you (fee applies).
