Technical Support
Everyone needs a little help from time to time, for whatever reason - time constraints, reassurance or simply if new to delivering training. PD:Approval is here to support you with our expert advisers who each have at least 15 years of individual experience of supporting new training providers through accreditation.
Not only can we help you collate the evidence for your submission, but we also have learning materials that are already mapped to your chosen qualification so you don’t have to do it yourself. Alternatively, if you are already using your own materials then we can map them to the ICREPs Global Standards for you and find the gaps, if any. If there are gaps then you have the option of creating your own additional materials or letting us provide them for you (fee applies).
Our advisers have been working in the field a long time and have seen everything so if you are unsure of how to develop the evidence or just need some focus, please contact us for a free 15 minute no obligation virtual consultation chat. If further technical support is required, our advisers will be able to direct you on how to progress and how long it might take, as well as advise you on any costs should you wish to go ahead. All fees are payable in advance.
