public today ( The FSSC
Recognised Trainer Scheme, launched in July this year, is designed for
individuals who work independently or who want to achieve recognition as an
individual for their work within a financial services firm as an in-house
trainer. The scheme is the third in a
suite of FSSC schemes. The first two schemes, Accreditation of Training
Excellence for firms and for training providers, were launched in May 2005. The first
trainers to receive recognition, all of whom work across the Sarah Jefferies FCII, CN Consulting Limited,
based in Poole, Neil Diamond, LUMA BDCI Limited, based in
Harrogate, Anne Clews and Louise Duncan, LA Direction,
based in Geoff Gaunt, PRISM Training and Development Ltd,
based in Alexis Collins, Accounts Training Ltd, based in Andy Leese, Complete Learning Systems, based in
Leek, Staffordshire. In order to
meet the standard, the trainers had to have a FSSC-recognised level 3 (or
above) training qualification or undergo an assessment of their training
delivery skills before undertaking a self audit. The FSSC Recognised Trainer Scheme is
evidence-based, and trainers must provide evidence that they meet an industry
standard developed by the FSSC. Where
required, assessment of training delivery skills was provided by an external assessor
from the Training Foundation, which was recently awarded The Queen's Awards for
One of the newly-recognised trainers, Anne
Clews, said: "The FSSC recognition programme gave me an opportunity to examine
my professional training standards and learn from other facilitators within my
profession. Being recognised by the FSSC
and having gone through the process will add value to the training services I
provide." Independent
trainers who achieve the award are listed on the FSSC website and are eligible
to use an FSSC Recognition logo on their professional materials. Recognition
will normally last for three years before a new audit is required, although
within the three year period a re-licence will need to be applied for annually. FSSC Chief
