Sign-up for the Fair Train Work Experience Quality Standard with Carley Consult 

The Work Experience Quality Standard was developed in association with the Department for Education, Ofsted, The Association of Colleges, AELP, TUC, the National Careers Service and employers and learning/training providers. It is increasingly recognised as a benefit to public sector commissioners, in distinguishing employability, learning and skills providers who can evidence a true commitment to work experience delivered at high quality.

The Standard can be awarded to employers, learning/training providers and facilitators/brokers. More than 450 organisations have already achieved Fair Train’s Work Experience Quality Standard, including major corporations, SMEs, charities, FE colleges, local authorities and more than fifty NHS Trusts.  Notable amongst these organisations are Reed in Partnership, Care Plus Group, Groundwork, Barnardo’s and Rathbone.

There are three levels of accreditation: Bronze, Silver and Gold, with prices starting from as little as £100, ensuring attainability and relevance for all types of organisation. Though the accreditation is highly regarded for its rigour and integrity, the application process is straightforward and minimally time consuming. It involves a simple Health Checker and Self-Assessment, along with the collation of relevant internal evidence of your commitment to providing quality work experience.
