IT trainers: TAP qualifications are highly valued by employers across all sectors
The TAP Training Accreditation Programme offers IT training providers and practitioners association with the UK's strongest L&D brand. Many employers now make a TAP qualification a mandated requirement for all L&D personnel. (for example, the NHS Clinical Coding trainer approval process) The TAP brand has an unrivalled reputation with employers in all sectors and for all subject areas, not just IT training. More than 1,300 organisations now employ some 21,000 TAP-qualified personnel.
TAP's qualifications matrix opens doors to a wide spectrum of career opportunities for IT trainers, broadening their skills beyond IT training. The Partnership with the University of Chester, and the Foundation Degree in Learning & Development Practice, means that all TAP certificates and diplomas are HE-accredited at Level 4 or 5.
Some IT trainers have been confused by suggestions that the FE qualification, Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning sector, is intended to address their skills needs. This is not the case. Explanation: about PTLLS
