!*FIRSTNAME*!
Three new Certified Learning Practitioners has been added to the CLP
register.
Melanie Lisney, Marion Parris and Valerie Fawcett successfully
completed their accreditation at the recent assessment days.
This bring to 15 the number of CLPs that TrainerBase is able to
promote purchasers of training and development services and who are
actively differentiating themselves in their proposals to clients. We
have another 12 members who are working towards CLP status.
TrainerBase is taking a number of pro-active steps to establish the
Standard as a de facto benchmark of trainer, courseware developer and
training adviser competence both at awarding body level and more
importantly with purchasers of training and development services. We
already have a number of organisations interested in adopting the Standard as
part of their selection process for engaging with freelance trainers.
We have ambitious targets for adoption of the Standard and the number
of CLPs we are able to recommend. In a product life cycle we are at
innovator stage. Watch this space as we head for the early adopter
phase.
As I have been known to say 'Onwards and Upwards'.

Opportunities
The first four weeks on 2009 has seen a significant
increase in the number of opportunities being posted on to the site. In
particular we have seen an increase in opportunities either for work
abroad (Middle East) or for work in the UK for foreign clients. Is this
evidence that some parts of the world are not being affected by the
current economic climate?
Opportunities posted recently include:
Please do be aware that some opportunities are posted and then
removed before they appear in the weekly update. It is advisable to
check the site periodically as I do not always send out alerts. If you know of a friend who would be interested in any of the
opportunities posted on the site, please feel free to forward them this
email (not give them details of the opportunities) and ask them to use
this referral code when joining the site: - TB21!*USERID*!07. You will
be rewarded for referring the friend.
When considering applying for an opportunity, members should check
the requirements including; Subject, Sector Skills and Level Experience.
If you do not match the requirement you should not apply for the
opportunity, this practice is becoming very unpopular amongst purchasers
and other trainers.
If you are interested in using this facility as a way of sourcing
independent contractors but are not sure about the best way to approach
it, please feel free to email
info@trainerbase.co.uk.
Notice:
Opportunities are restricted information for subscribers only and
must not be distributed to non paying members or associate groups.

A question for purchasers of training.
What will give you confidence that the freelance trainer you are
considering engaging will provide a return on investment or expectation?
The TrainerBase Standard
The TrainerBase Standard is the first ‘occupational’ standard
specifically developed to measure the full range of competence and
behaviours expected of an independent learning and development
practitioner. Purchasers have commented “This is long overdue”.
200 Years of Expertise
The TrainerBase Standard was drawn up by a highly experienced team of
learning and development professionals with close to 200 years of
combined expertise.
Proof of Competence
And this is why the TrainerBase Standard and the Certified Learning
Practitioner (CLP) accreditation is so beneficial to purchasers of
training: a CLP has proved that they are fully competent.
Essential Principles
The TrainerBase Standard has three Principles essential for purchaser
requirements:
- The Personal Principle covers ethical practice, effective
communication and relationship building and Professional
Development.
- The Operational Principle covers best practice from advice
through design and delivery to evaluation of learning activities and
processes.
- The Commercial Principle covers business planning, running a
commercial entity and monitoring ongoing business success.
Purchaser Confidence
Why are the Principles so important? Because you as a purchaser need
the confidence to engage with reliable competent professionals who have
evidenced that they know what they are doing.
For more information on how you can adopt and use The TrainerBase
Standard as a way of ensuring you meet your training objectives please
call: 01239 711544 or visit www.trainerbase.co.uk/thestandard
