The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) has been accredited to the matrix Standard in recognition of its high-quality information and guidance services to the Further Education (FE) and Training sector.
The matrix Standard is the international quality standard for organisations that deliver information, advice and/or guidance (IAG), either as their sole purpose or as part of their service offering. The matrix Standard is owned by the Department of Education (DfE) and is managed by The Growth Company on its behalf.
The matrix accreditation process focused on the ETF’s regional engagement led by Tim Bevans, Director of Regional Engagement at the ETF. As well as supporting providers to deliver T Levels through the DfE-funded T Level Professional Development programme, the regional team provides an essential support service to providers, connecting them with the wider professional development support and training that the ETF offers.
The ETF’s provision of bespoke services to providers across the country was recognised throughout the report. It was noted that outcomes from recent surveys recorded 100% satisfaction from providers with information, advice and/or guidance received.
