Accredited Training Options

There are three options for offering accredited training in the Best Management Practice methods:

Reseller - This is basically an arrangement for an organisation to sell SPOCE training products and claim a commission for each sale. This option provides a quick route to market and provides a nationwide public course schedule, onsite client courses and online accredited e-learning. The process for setting up a reseller arrangement can be completed within a day.

Affiliate - This option is ideal for companies wishing to gain a quick route to market. An Affiliate may use the required trade marks (i.e. PRINCE2®, MSP®, M_o_R®, P3O®) in marketing materials and advertise training events under their own banner. In association with SPOCE, all examinations will be ordered, and the administration for such will be taken off your hands. Although SPOCE materials must be used, Affiliates do have an option to re-brand and print these. The Affiliate can also enter into arrangements directly with an APMG Approved Trainer, provided that the trainer is familiarised on SPOCE's materials. SPOCE can also provide approved trainers for events run by the Affiliate. The process for setting up an Affiliate arrangement takes 1-2 weeks.

ATO Licensee - To offer accredited training in the AXELOS best practice methods, it is required that organisations are either an Affiliate of an existing Accredited Training Organisation (ATO), or are an ATO in their own right. To become an ATO, you need accredited training materials approved by the APM Group (APMG). SPOCE's accredited materials are available under a license arrangement to meet this requirement of the APM Group. You will also need to develop a Quality Manual and Procedures based on the APM Group's required standards. At least one trainer must also be identified. An ATO Licensee agreement can be setup in days. You would then need to prepare your organisation for when dealing with the assessment by APM Group.
