How it Works
Our Standards (what we look for)
Standards are the benchmarks that define quality in training and learning. They set clear expectations for design, delivery, assessment, and learner support, ensuring every programme is consistent, fair, and effective.
By working to defined standards, training providers can demonstrate credibility, build trust with clients and learners, and show that their outcomes are measurable and repeatable.
At AIPLD, our standards act as a framework for excellence - helping providers maintain quality, adapt to change, and continually improve.
-
Clear outcomes mapped to assessment evidence
-
Structured delivery with time on task and practice opportunities
-
Qualified facilitators with current industry or domain experience
-
Fair assessment with moderation and re-assessment routes
-
Learner support before, during and after the course
-
Data & improvement: feedback loops and action logs
Example evidence we accept: session plans, slide decks, handbooks, assessment briefs, marking guides, sample feedback, trainer CVs.
