CIMSPA Education Partners Quality Assurance

CIMSPA’s role is to ensure that everyone in our sector is working to a consistently high standard, and are equipped with the right knowledge, skills, and behaviours to perform their roles and progress in their career.

When organisations become CIMSPA Education Partners, we can officially endorse their CPD, training, and qualifications. To ensure endorsed products are of the highest standards, we ensure all partners go through a quality assurance checking process leading to a CIMSPA Quality Assurance Outcome.

In response to ongoing requests for clear differentiation between partners, we will now publish Quality Assurance statuses on the course directory. This policy aims to enhance transparency and assist stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding courses and partners.

Approach and Assessment

Following a CIMSPA endorsement, we assess our providers to ensure if they are delivering training that adheres to their own codes of conduct, as well as other good practice guidelines such as health and safety and safeguarding.

The reviews are carried out by our team of independent Quality Assurance Advisors and are split into three categories*:

1. Quality of Education
2. Learner Journey
3. Marketing and Promotion

Success in these categories is measured through analysis of examples of evidence provided by the partners in accordance with their evidence frameworks.

*Awarding Organisations function differently to Training Provider Partners, Higher Education Partners, and Further Education Partners and so are reviewed in their own unique way.
