Scoring Analysis

This document presents the latest data on scores from Part A and Part B assessments, and offers some analysis about what they mean about current achievement, and about the differences between those passing and those failing.

The analysis is offered to help those at many levels – government, training provider, employer, improvement adviser – better understand what the Training Quality Standard is telling us about training capability and performance, and to understand how well an organisation has fared in assessment by comparing its scores with the wider group.

All of the data relates to organisations in England, with scores resulting from assessments between the autumn of 2007 and February 2008, from assessments validated as complete by the Certification Panel.

Part A first sets out data on the outcomes for Part A assessments; Part B then does the same for Part B assessments; Further analysis then adds to this the key data on pass rates and key score points for comparison.
