Our Partners
NEF Assured
NEF works with sector bodies and partnerships to develop rigorous standards for
effective training.
This process is known as Assurance and can be extended to any industry for which
a consistently standard of training is essential. Achieving the standard then provides
a highly valuable independent validation of an individual organisation’s approach
to learning, training and talent development.
For instance, our NEF Assured (Nuclear) is the industry specific standard for assuring
deliverers of training in the nuclear sector. 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.
The NEF Assured® standard is being developed in the following sectors:
- NEF Assured (Power)
- NEF Assured (Healthcare)
- STEM Assured (Work-based Learning in Higher Education)
