Dedicated Training

This EFQM Licensed course is designed to help you help your organisations plan, manage and support an internal improvement process, by gathering information to understand the current status, using self-assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement, and by prioritising actions, planning and managing improvement projects.

The course prepares individuals to complete an internal assessment of their organisation.  This training will help create the internal capability and skills to run a self-assessment programme for your organisation.  Participants will benefit from a one-to-one coaching and feedback throughout the training.

During the course, participants will get to practice using a number of tools, from simple self-assessments to a full Award simulation. After the course, they will be able to decide which tools are best suited to supporting their organisation and how to get started.
