  “The benefits of e-skills Passport are already apparent, with increased employee confidence and skills demonstrated across the workforce. As desired, employees now have less need to call the systems support team, enabling them to progress higher level IT projects which benefits the company.”

• Training Providers: Pendleton College
  
  “Once our candidates began using e-skills Passport and had commenced training and assessment, they didn’t need any further external motivation. They saw first hand how ITQ and e-skills Passport enabled them to develop relevant new skills and work more efficiently. We found Passport Office very useful as it provides evidence of candidates’ skills progression which we can then demonstrate to their employers.”
  
  Hear from their employers:
  
  “The training is so personalised, it encourages the employers and employees into a good working relationship, where they have ownership of their own training."

  "e-skills Passports provide a useful tool in conducting a skills audit, identifying skills gaps and targeting training. They also help to focus minds on the requirements of e-learning, both while completing them and through tracking individuals’ progress through ongoing staff appraisal."

  "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."
