I have worked with Rewards for over 5 years and employed several staff from Rewards and most of these staff are still with me now and have progressed up the ladder. Rewards have been very professional to deal with and always very efficient and reliable.  The courses my staff go on are excellent and they enjoy doing them. They are great qualifications to have.  I will continue to use Rewards in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking to take on employees.

The Verifier Award is for those who monitor the work of all assessors who are involved with the delivery of work-based qualifications. To achieve this award the verifier-candidate is required to carry out the monitoring activities defined in their organisation’s quality assurance procedures in accordance with appropriate external quality assurance requirements.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARD (PDA) What is the PDA?

The PDA is a certified qualification, delivered in a similar way to the SVQs. The awards are designed to enhance managerial skills and achieve certification in a relatively short period of time.

The qualification is ideal for those who do not wish to do the full VQ but still want a specific certified qualification in their role.

Within the PDA an individual is allowed up to 12 months to complete their qualification, however they generally only take up to 3-4 months depending on the PDA.

The different PDAs we offer are:

Managing Self and the Work of Others

What is the ILM?

We are an ILM accredited centre, delivering Facilities Management Level 3, Leadership and Management Level 3, 4 and 5.

The ILM is a great way to develop emerging and current leaders, as the workshop forums have discussions on a variety of managerial subjects and providing solutions to deliver the best practice. In addition the workshops enable individuals to draw on their own experiences.

Individuals are also expected to apply workshop discussions to case studies in their own departments, examining issues, identifying solutions and making recommendations and a course of action.

In seeking to develop our first line management team, we came across Rewards who were able to offer exactly what we were looking for at a reasonable cost. This was through the ILM Level 3 First Line Management course, which we had delivered to us as an in-house training program.

The senior management team and the candidates have been extremely impressed with the lecturing staff and the standard of the teaching materials that were made available. We have no hesitation in recommending Rewards to any business looking for tailor made in-house training solutions.
