Follow on Google News | NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH – QCF e-portfolio software from Smart AssessorGovernment funded Training providers can balance cost cutting with quality training delivery!
By: Daniel Taylor Whilst there is a focus from Government on the training of apprentices there is also pressure on training providers to deliver more, for less money. The recent change of awarding contracts only to larger training providers has meant that the smaller niche training providers now have to pay a management fee to their larger contract holder. This reduces the budget they have left to spend on delivering the apprenticeship framework. Assessors are under pressure manage more learners and complete them in less time. In a recent survey 84% of assessors said that they had to take work home with them in the evening to stay on top of their workload and that this impacted on the quality of their family life. Assessors felt that they couldn’t let their learners down; the reason they had chosen this career was because they had a passion for helping young people achieve their potential which is at the heart of the apprenticeship programme. Smart Assessor has researched how assessors spend their time and have identified an area of their working practice that could be easily changed, significantly reducing the cost of delivering the apprenticeship framework and could also help the assessor interact more with their apprentices. A win-win solution. Research has indicated that assessors are spending on average 5 hours a week travelling to see their apprentices in the workplace; this is completely unproductive time for assessors and costs their training provider at least £4,000 a year for each assessor in lost time and travel expenses. Smart Assessor have developed a new QCF e-portfolio software that has integrated web training and assessment rooms to make life easier for assessors and better for their apprentices whilst reducing the cost of delivery for training providers. Assessors can meet with their apprentices ‘virtually’ For more information on this innovative new e-portfolio contact Smart Assessor through their web site www.smartassessor.com # # # Smart Assessor have created a new e-portfolio with integrated web assessment rooms that can reduce the cost of QCF delivery by 25% whilst giving assessors more time with their apprentices.
