release date: 19/01/2010
The Coaching Platform, a specialist financial services training consultancy and part of Focus Solutions Group, is pleased to announce that it has received accredited training provider status from the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).
The CISI is the largest and most widely respected professional body for those who work in the securities and investment industry in the UK as well as for a growing number of major financial centres round the world. Its accreditation process is a key feature of its quality assurance, with the purpose of enabling training providers to demonstrate that they can deliver quality training and support for candidates preparing to sit CISI examinations.
To achieve the accreditation The Coaching Platform had to meet a number of key criteria including; have at least one member of the tutoring staff as a CISI member within one year of the application; demonstrate adequate record keeping facilities and tutoring and learning resources; successfully pass an approval visit and show senior level support within the organisation.
Commenting on achieving the accreditation, Mark Ehlinger, Divisional Director of The Coaching Platform said: “We are delighted to have received accredited training provider status from the CISI. This adds to our other industry accreditations, such as the Financial Services Skills Council accreditation for Excellence in Training, and assures organisations receiving services from ourselves that we are delivering the highest quality of training available in the industry.”
Ruth Martin, CISI MD, said: “We are very pleased to welcome The Coaching Platform as a CISI accredited training provider. Their accreditation demonstrates they have met our rigorous standards for training and we look forward to working with them.”
The accreditation is awarded for three years, with a review carried out annually by the CISI to ensure that it has the most up to date information about the activities of the provider.
