Do you run your own in-house courses, training or learning programmes?
The Accredited Training Programme (ATP), available through BIIAB, is a great way for you to receive accreditation for any programmes you run.
Through this service, you can get your courses accredited by BIIAB – a nationally recognised awarding organisation that specialises in the hospitality sector.
ATP is available to all organisations – whether you’re a training provider, a college, or a business. As long as your courses sit outside the regulated qualification market, you can apply for ATP.
Read on to hear firsthand about the benefits of this service.
Helping to attract talent and win customers
Earlier this year, Andrea McCarthy, Operations Director at Venners Ltd, spoke to us about how ATP has benefited her organisation.
Venners are a specialist national supplier of operational and financial business services to the hospitality and entertainment industry, as well as other sectors. They supply audits, training and software solutions to thousands of hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, pubs, stadiums, events, and catering businesses across the United Kingdom and Europe.
Their work is niche, and they work with a huge number of clients, so quality assurance is key for them. Andrea said they take their staff training very seriously because they have to trust their staff when they are “out in the field”, completing audits for clients across the country. So, Venners decided to use ATP to accredit and quality-assure their internal training.
Andrea said that all new starters at Venners take their accredited training, and that it shows that they really invest in their people. As a result, they are seen as an industry leader for training.
It helps us in attracting talent…none of our competitors provide accredited training.
Furthermore, ATP helps Venners stand out to their customers. Their clients have peace of mind when choosing Venners for stock audits, as they know that Venners staff are well trained. ATP therefore helps Venners to stand out from their competitors and win work.
Our Accredited Training Programme is a differentiator of whether we win the work or we don’t.
Andrea also praised other aspects of ATP, saying Venners’s BIIAB Moderator was “fantastic”, the learner portal is “quick and convenient”, and that the dual-branded certificates provide a “celebration moment” when staff complete their training.
Finally, Andrea noted that ATP was ideal for Venners because they work in the hospitality industry. BIIAB specialises in this industry, so the accreditation added prestige to Venners’s training.
