Vally Plant Training’s Transition from ATO to CITB’s Training Provider Network

In a significant move aimed at enhancing the quality and accessibility of construction training, Vally Plant Training has transitioned from its status as a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO) to becoming a member of CITB’s Training Provider Network (TPN). This strategic shift aligns with the Construction Industry Training Board’s (CITB) vision to create a unified, quality-assured network of training providers across Great Britain that includes CITB’s Training Provider Network.

Understanding the Shift: ATO to TPN

CITB’s Training Provider Network is crucial for enhancing the standards in the construction sector.

CITB’s Training Provider Network: A New Era for Training with CITB’s Training Provider Network

With CITB’s Training Provider Network, Vally Plant Training can offer enhanced training options.

Joining CITB’s Training Provider Network further solidifies our commitment to quality.

Previously, Vally Plant Training operated under the ATO framework, which recognised training providers for delivering construction-related training that met industry standards. However, with the introduction of the TPN, CITB has streamlined its approach to training delivery, focusing on collaboration, quality assurance, and employer-led insights. The TPN brings together approved training providers from England, Scotland, and Wales, creating a single, trusted network aimed at improving training accessibility and quality.

Being part of CITB’s Training Provider Network opens up numerous opportunities for collaboration.

As part of this transition, Vally Plant Training has undergone a rigorous application process to become a TPN member. This process involved demonstrating their commitment to delivering high-quality training, aligning with CITB’s standards, and showcasing their ability to meet the evolving needs of the construction industry.

Enhancing Training Quality and Accessibility

One of the primary benefits of joining the TPN is the enhanced ability to deliver training that is both accessible and of the highest quality. As a TPN member, Vally Plant Training gains access to a range of resources and support from CITB, including:

• Dedicated Support: Access to relationship managers and quality assurance experts to ensure continuous improvement in training delivery.
• Employer Connections: Opportunities to connect directly with employers through Employer Networks, facilitating better work placements and employment opportunities for new entrants.
• Industry Insights: Access to valuable industry insights for planning training provision at national and local levels, ensuring that training programs are aligned with current and future industry needs.
• Recognition: Being part of a network recognised by the British construction industry as a provider of quality-assured training, enhancing credibility and trust among employers and learners alike.

Benefits for Employers and Learners

For employers, the transition to the TPN means easier access to a network of training providers who meet CITB’s quality assurance criteria. This simplifies the process of sourcing training that is relevant, up-to-date, and aligned with industry standards. Employers can confidently invest in the development of their workforce, knowing that the training provided will enhance skills and contribute to a safer, more competent workforce.

Employers benefit from CITB’s Training Provider Network by accessing high-quality training opportunities.

Learners are empowered through CITB’s Training Provider Network to find suitable training paths.

Learners also stand to benefit from the TPN’s focus on quality and accessibility. With a broader range of training options available through a network of trusted providers, learners can find programs that suit their specific needs and career aspirations. The TPN’s emphasis on employer-led insights ensures that training programs are relevant and tailored to the demands of the industry, increasing employability and career progression opportunities for learners.
