NEF Assured (Nuclear) is the industry specific standard for assuring deliverers of training in the nuclear sector. The standard provides a highly valuable independent validation of an organisation’s approach to learning, training and talent development, which is recognised by the National Skills Academy for Nuclear. This outcome focused standard is the first step in enabling member organisations to have in house training aligned to and benchmarked against employer-led and agreed Industry Standards on the Nuclear Skills Passport system. NEF Assured (Nuclear) recognises the need for continuous improvement and for training to impact directly on business objectives. A number of organisations such as Magnox North, Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), Research Sites Restoration Limited (RSRL) and Sellafield have all successfully achieved the NEF Assured (Nuclear) standard.
