THE Manufacturing Institute (TMI) has received City & Guilds assurance for its Team Leadership Development Programme (TLDP) and Accelerated Route to Lean Manufacturing (ARTL).
The organisation said these are often the gateway onto the MSc in Manufacturing Leadership, or even larger continuous improvement consultancy projects and Shingo.
The City & Guilds assured benchmark is described as a quality assurance framework, which evaluates eight areas of programme design and delivery.
Lisa Riley, executive director at TMI, said, “These programmes are so enduring that customers old and new refer to them by their acronyms. In the last 12-months, both programmes have been updated and refreshed. It felt like time to get them formally ratified by one of the nation’s most familiar educational organisations – City & Guilds.”
Joe Bell, strategic commercial manager at City & Guilds, added, “City & Guilds is delighted to be able to work with organisations who value good quality skills development. The Manufacturing Institute has invested in developing these programmes to achieve the City & Guilds assured benchmarks, which now evidences that the courses meet world-class quality standards on all aspects from planning and design, to delivery and evaluation.”
TMI explained that the programmes help build a coaching ‘culture’, giving employees the chance of personal development. Upon successful completion, delegates receive a co-branded digital credential highlighting their personal development, which includes information about the learner’s skills and achievements.
