You need an insurance training provider you can count on for the highest professional standards. That provider is Searchlight!

We are the first training provider to receive FSSC accreditation as the following press release shows:

Searchlight becomes first training provider to achieve FSSC accreditation

27 February 2006

The Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) has awarded its Accreditation of Training Excellence for Training Providers to Searchlight, a provider of insurance training services. Searchlight is the first training provider to achieve FSSC accreditation since the launch of the scheme in May 2005.

The FSSC scheme is designed for providers who can demonstrate that their training adds value to their clients' business. Training providers applying for accreditation undertake a self-audit to gather evidence, followed by an external audit. The external audit is conducted by independent auditors appointed by the FSSC. Successful applicants receive an Accreditation Award lasting three years, after which the provider will need to be re-licensed. Accredited providers will be listed on the FSSC website and will be able to use an FSSC Accreditation logo on company materials.

 

This is one of a suite of accreditation and recognition schemes designed to show where firms, training providers and individual trainers have achieved excellence in training. Other current schemes are Accreditation of Training Excellence for Firms, which accredits firms that can show that their investment in training produces a solid business outcome, and the FSSC Recognised Trainer scheme, which recognises individual and in-house trainers.

Lucy Courtenay, FSSC Standards & Accreditation Director, said: "We are delighted to award FSSC Accreditation to Searchlight and look forward to accrediting the other training providers currently going through the process. E mployers can be confident that accredited providers meet a recognised industry standard and will deliver tangible benefits to their business."

Searchlight managing director Ian Jerrum added: "We are delighted to have been the first training provider to be awarded the Accreditation of Training Excellence for Training Providers. Searchlight's position as the UK 's leading provider of insurance training and competency services remains a surprisingly little known fact. Hopefully, this latest independent recognition of the high professional standards we maintain and the demonstrable value of the training we provide will help bring the recognition our leading role in the market deserves."

The FSSC is also developing schemes for accrediting Learning Solutions and T & C Schemes. This work contributes to the FSSC's commitment to improve productivity and business performance in the financial services industry. More information on accreditation is available at: www.fssc.org.uk.
