NHS - TAP trainers community

TAP - the de facto NHS training delivery standard 

TAP is a recommended ETD standard; see the Connecting for Health - Trainer Standards, Pre-requisites and Qualifications document  

More than 2,600 NHS trainers have achieved certification of their skills under the TAP programme since 1998. The majority have achieved certification of their Training Delivery Skills. Others have completed a range of TAP modules, spanning e-tutoring, facilitation, coaching, training design & development. blended learning, learner engagement and others. 

More than 90 Trusts participated in the 2009 TAP Learning System survey which produced amazing results!

TAP Certificates are awarded by the British Institute for Learning & Development (BILD) and the course fee includes first year membership.

Clarifying the facts on qualifications for NHS trainers

There is considerable confusion in the Service concerning training qualifications. The QTLS qualifications (Qualified to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) including PTLLS were introduced by LLUK in 2008, to address the needs of teachers and tutors primarily working in the Further Education sector.

Some Trusts have been led to believe that PTLLS is a required qualification for all their trainers. This is not the case: PTLLS was NOT even designed for L&D trainers.
