Cordie has been accredited with the Matrix Standard certification for the ongoing support with information, advice and guidance (IAG) that we provide to our learners. This is an international quality standard run by the UK’s Department of Education to promote the wider aspects of learning and development among our students and customers.
Information, advice and guidance is an essential element of any professional learning provider in supporting customers through their learning. It include many aspects of support, including helping learners to select the right training and education for themselves as an individual and also in helping them grow professionally in terms of knowledge, skills, behaviour and also attitudes.
This is a wide-ranging quality assessment and includes interviewing customers, tutors, programme coordinators and learning partners. It includes aspects of choosing the right course curricula, appropriate types of learning, career advice, personal & professional development, and general welfare support. In essence, IAG is about us acknowledging and supporting your individual development holistically, rather than just completion of a training course.
In completing the accreditation, Cordie was noted for our strengths in customer service and service delivery. We have been acknowledged as operating ‘learner-centred’ service provision, as well as having a genuinely positive attitude towards the continuous improvement of our services. Other noteworthy praise included our positive approach towards collaborating with other learning partners in order to offer a ‘joined up’ service for our learners.
Roger Chapman, Head of the Matrix Service for The Growth Company said: “This is a fantastic achievement for Cordie and I would like to congratulate the team on their success. We believe that at the heart of high-quality advice and support services are strong leadership, excellent service and a focus on continuous improvement, all underpinned by effective use of the resources available. The matrix standard is designed to benchmark organisations against best practice in these areas. With their accreditation success, Cordie is working to provide the best possible support to their clients.”
