A scheme offering care and social work staff in the North East
the opportunity to do work-based training has been set up by Topss
England.
The Accreditation of Workplace Learning Project hopes to improve
access to accredited qualification schemes - everything from NVQ1
to PQ7 will be available. It is targeting voluntary and private
sector employers in Tyne and Wear, the Tees Valley, Durham and
Northumberland as many do not offer accredited courses.
Mike Soanes, learning and development manager at Barnardo's
Northeast, which has signed up to the scheme, says: "Most training
takes place in the work place and this seems to offer a way of
recognising and accrediting that."
