Why do more than half the FTSE100 now employ TAP-qualified L&D professionals?

Adoption of the TAP learning methodologies seems to be approaching a tipping point…

Introduced in 1998, and continuously developed since, the Training Accreditation Programme, TAP®, is today the UK’s leading skills programme for L&D practitioners.  If you are asking why that is, a credible way to establish the answer objectively is to see what raving fans say!   At  www.tap.training you can read more than 40 Case Studies from TAP Accredited L&D Partners, and 3,000+ testimonials from delegates to TAP courses during the last 18 months.  Both at individual practitioner and at organisational levels, the unique TAP methodologies are enabling performance improvement and delivering business benefits.

You’ll also find numerous endorsements from senior L&D industry figures on the home page, for example, Clive Shepherd, the UK’s leading e-Learning ‘guru’,  Stuart Lowry, then Training Director for Capita Learning & Development,  Andy Lancaster, now Head of L&D at the CIPD.

Sandra Penfold, Global Education and Training Director, Barclays Bank, has headed teams with more than 400 TAP-qualified trainers.  To quantify the ROI it produces, Sandra led an internal project to compare the learning effectiveness of training events facilitated by TAP-qualified trainers with those by non-TAP trainers.  Reviewing the project’s findings, Sandra commented; 

 “…I’d say that applying TAP methodology resulted in a 30-40%improvement in strategic design, learning governance and effective delivery, producing highly commercial performance outcomes every time and clear ROI”

What enables the TAP methodologies to make such a difference?  Nick Mitchell, CEO of The Training Foundation, offers an insight…

Today, more than 26,000 trainers working in some 1,400 public and private sector organisations are designing and delivering training to TAP’s best-practice, learner-centred methodologies.   It is this guarantee of consistency to best-practice that recommends TAP, particularly in regulated environments where compliance to standards is critically important.
