Watch back: CSCS Industry Accreditation webinar

Published: August 15, 2023

CSCS recently held a webinar for those impacted by the withdrawal of Industry Accreditation, which is now available to watch back below and via the CSCS YouTube channel.

During the webinar, CSCS Head of Operations, Garry Mortimer, and Head of Communications, Alan O’Neile delivered a briefing on the withdrawal of IA and the support available, including enhanced CITB grant funding and flexible assessment routes, prior to a Q&A with guests.

 

The webinar also covered the following areas:

• Why Industry Accreditation is being withdrawn.
• Straightforward routes off IA that exist for many individuals.
• Flexible assessment routes that ensure individuals do not need to attend college to gain a qualification.
• Increased CITB grants to help those who need to undertake qualifications.
• Guidance on which professional bodies are approved for the PQP card and which academic qualifications are accepted for an AQP card
• Other CSCS updates around CSCS Smart Check and My CSCS.

The slides for the presentation are also available to view and download.
