Readiness check


This is a tool to help you consider how ready your organisation may be for Training Quality Standard assessment.

The Readiness Check takes you through a series of statements which you should use to gauge your organisation’s strategy, approaches and results, and ask how ready you would be to prepare an application.

You need to consider how much you can demonstrate your organisation can meet each statement’s requirements. You will also be able to clarify whether your organisation has particular strengths or weaknesses.

Once completed, the Readiness Check will translate your assessment into some recommended next steps for your organisation’s journey of continuous improvement.

The Readiness Check is a starting point, not a substitute for assessment. The more candid you are in assessing your organisation, the more accurate the recommendations will be.

Then, the two further ‘Measures’ statements allow you to identify whether some of the critical requirements represent particular strengths and weaknesses around this general picture.
