WORLD OF LEARNING AWARDS 2008
National register of TAP® qualified learning & development professionals launched today
A new national Register of TAP® qualified learning and development professionals was launched at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Annual Conference and Exhibition, which is taking place in Harrogate today.
When making the announcement Adrian Snook, Deputy CEO of The Training Foundation commented: "The new Register will simplify life for hundreds of employers currently seeking to engage the services of genuine TAP qualified learning and development professionals."
"There are two main reasons for this announcement. Firstly, The Training Foundation is receiving a growing number of requests from employers seeking confirmation that job applicants and freelance trainers genuinely hold the TAP® qualifications they claim. These requests can be very time-consuming to process because The Training Foundation needs to obtain authorisation from the person in question before responding to the employer request."
