Focus Academy > About Us
Welcome to Focus Academy!
Focus Academy is a unique education and training service provided directly by Focus Awards exclusively for you, our recognised centres, and your dedicated staff.
As your preferred Awarding Organisation, we take our responsibilities very seriously. Chief among those is to help you succeed and become the best training provider you can be.
We created the Academy to provide you with a means to achieve more while also serving you better. We have very well-qualified Assessors, IQAs and EQAs on staff at Focus Awards – they’re crucial to our ‘mission’ of getting you and your people to the very top of your industry or sector.
As a business we can only achieve more if you achieve more. So, it makes both logical and commercial sense to lead you through the process of qualifying your people as painlessly and cost-effectively as possible.
We ensure there is no information lost between setting off on the right career path (the shortest route to success) and completing your qualification, by demonstrating the way our qualifications should be delivered. There is no ‘loss in translation’ or ‘Chinese whispers…’
You get the multiple benefits of developing, improving, and consolidating the capabilities and confidence of your team, while helping them to broaden and enhance their CPD, thus meeting Ofqual’s requirements. We provide an unrivalled route to EQA for your Assessors and IQAs through a tried, tested, and progressive pathway. They – and you – will never look back!
Because they’re getting the information, training, and one-to-one experience through our own professional team (essentially ‘from the horse’s mouth’), your instructors, trainers, assessors, and QA staff will soon be pushing and pulling in the same direction by simply absorbing ‘best practice.’.
The many advantages of training through Focus Academy include:
– Clear, standardised assessment processes.
– Direct advice on all elements of qualification delivery and methods of assessment, from knowledgeable and experienced IQAs who know our qualifications intimately. In most cases they have been instrumental in the qualifications’ creation and development.
– Instead of seeing your EQA once or twice a year, you’ll gain the experience of working alongside them, see how they approach and solve problems, and discover more ways to keep you and your centre on track.
– Opportunities to engage in the process and get clarity on issues as they arise.
Focus Academy benefits us all. You (our centre), your staff, your learners, and everyone at Focus Awards. Working alongside you in a ‘live’ learning environment helps us stay ‘sharp’ too. We’ve never wanted to be prescriptive. Collaboration and teamwork got us where we are today, and – like you – we’ve much more to learn.
We love that! It gives us impetus and keeps us hungry for knowledge. We hope you agree and want to join us on the journey towards excellence.
Onward and upward… Everybody WINS!
