Endorsed Learning Programmes (ELP)
Endorsed Learning Programmes (ELP) is our recognition of your own courses and training programmes. The endorsement helps your training stand out from the rest bringing the prestige of IITHE with them. The availability of such endorsement gives learners, employers and wider businesses and industries confidence that the programmes are developed around best practice and they are working towards globally recognised standards.
An endorsed programme means that it is unique to your organisation as you own the programme and provides confidence that it meets your own requirements and that of any local need. It is also an effective way of providing certification for your own in-house programmes too such as study days, seminars and short courses.
Annual quality assurance carried out by IITHE is also a feature of the programme and ensures it meets IITHE standards and provides confidence to learners in the achievement of your programme.
All IITHE certificates come with a transcript of study to provide clarity to learners along their career pathway.
