Accreditation for Training Providers
The Accreditation Process
We keep the accreditation process as simple and straightforward as possible. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Step 1: Centre Approval
To ensure you have the right foundations in place before you start training, we will evaluate your organisation’s operations. We will request documents, such as:
Health and Safety Policy
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Staff Development Procedure
Company Insurance Certificate
-
The documents we need will depend on your organisation’s size and sector, so don’t worry if you don’t have all these documents in place.
-
If we notice anything that needs updating or adding, we will let you know so that you can make amendments and achieve accreditation.
-
Once you’re approved, you will receive our Centre Approval Certificate and a space on our Accredited Centres directory.
Step 2: Trainer Approval
You can select an unlimited number of trainers from within your organisation. The Advantage Accreditation team will assess their qualifications and experience to ensure they can deliver effective training.
Step 3: Course Approval
You can use our ready-to-deliver course materials, your own original materials, or a combination of both. Our ready-to-use courses are accredited through Advantage. We also offer accreditation for your training courses.
Step 4: Certification
After you have received centre, trainer, and course approval, you can begin to deliver accredited training. Accredited centres can access the Advantage online portal to handle admin and generate certificates.
Accreditation for Health and Social Care Providers
Advantage began as a specialist accreditation body focused on training in the Health and Social Care sector. While we have expanded since, care training is still our bread and butter!
CPD Accreditation
We make sure every course we accredit has a real and lasting impact on the learner. For this reason, all courses approved by Advantage are CPD-accredited.
