iCQ Awards – an awarding organisation and End-Point Assessment Organisation – have recently joined The Workforce Development Trust group. The acquisition means that the total offering for awarding and assessment services has doubled for our centres and customers.
For SFJ Awards customers, this means the addition of over 300 regulated qualifications, and End-Point Assessment services for over 40 apprenticeship standards. This range is growing all of the time – in August alone, four new qualifications were launched and six approvals were achieved for apprenticeship assessments.
What do iCQ Awards offer qualifications and assessments in?
iCQ support multiple business functions that SFJ Awards customers may have formal learning and development programmes in place for, with a range of opportunities that cover facilities, administration and customer service, catering, interpretation, management, and more.
They also work across healthcare, retail, travel and tourism, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain logistics, early years and other sectors.
Explore iCQ qualifications and assessmentsFast-track approval for SFJ Awards centres
A fast track approval process is being set up, meaning that SFJ Awards centres can deliver iCQ qualifications quicker thanks to their existing approval. By working collaboratively and sharing quality assurance information between the organisations we can reduce the amount of work required by SFJ Awards centres to take up new qualifications with iCQ. To be eligible for fast track approval you must consent for SFJ Awards to share your centre data with iCQ.
In the future, we will be looking at how we can further support centres and customers in taking qualifications from both organisations – looking for opportunities to reduce the administrative burden and help manage and track learning and development programmes.
Reduced fees
SFJ Awards customers who gain centre recognition with iCQ will have the fee waived – reducing your costs and giving you access to a wider range of qualifications. Reduced fees are available only to centres who have a valid SFJ Awards centre number and are currently using SFJ Awards products and services.
iLearner platform
In addition, when you onboard to iCQ, SFJ Awards customers will gain access to iLearner. iLearner is an innovative all-in-one learner management platform that allows learning and development professionals to track all of their qualifications and training, no matter who the provider is.
