The UK NRP Consultancy Department has particular expertise in the field of international qualification benchmarking.
Benchmarking involves the analysis of international training systems for comparison to qualification frameworks in the UK. In most cases, these exercises are specific to one vocational / industrial sector.
The final product can be presented in any manner to meet client specifications, including:
- Country specific reports
- Industry specific reports
- In benchmarked tables for easy reference
Previous clients include multinational companies, Government departments, Work Permit agencies, professional bodies and sector-based occupational bodies.
