e-skills Passport

Are you an employer who wants to:
Increase productivity, efficiency & maximise ROI on IT & training?

Are you a provider who wants to:
Support your employers to assess the capabilities & skills gaps of their workforce?

The Solution

Created by e-skills UK, in association with leading employers, e-skills Passport is a simple-to-use, online skills management tool that enables an organisation or training provider to:

• assess current IT user skills;
• set learning targets;
• identify skills gaps;
• plan more effective learning; and
• record staff improvement.
  

Over 15, 000 people from more than 800 companies are already using e-skills Passport to identify skills needs and boost productivity.

Fully integrated with ITQ

The ITQ is an innovative qualification structure that is unique in being based on the IT user skills which employers define as essential for particular jobs.  Attainments are recorded on an e-skills Passport so employers, present and future, know exactly the skills a member of staff has achieved. This gives employers and trainers a reference point for designing the most appropriate ITQ courses for the employee’s and the business’s future.

Case Study: British Computer Society (BCS)

BCS and e-skills UK recently announced a unique partnership agreement that allows candidates registering for an ITQ in one of BCS' centres to use an e-skills Passport.  David Clarke, BCS Chief Executive said: "BCS is committed to providing the best learning experience and support for all candidates taking the ITQ. This is why we are the first ITQ awarding body to commit to this partnership."

"Employers love ITQ because it can be tailored. However, with this flexibility comes the need for a tool to customise and manage the ITQ, which is where the e-skills Passport fits in. Combining the functions of e-skills Passport with our own sophisticated systems will make our assess-train-assess approach to ITQ very straightforward. This move to combine e-skills Passport and ITQ benefits the candidate and provides the employer with a complete solution to its technology skills needs: e-skills Passport identifies the skills needs and ITQ provides the training solution. This unique agreement also makes the delivery particularly cost-effective for providers."
