Results of survey on training provider perceptions of SFA published
Earlier this summer, the Skills Funding Agency conducted a College and Training Organisation Survey, the first time that the agency or its predecessor, the LSC has conducted such a survey
The aim of the survey was to elicit the views of training providers about their perceptions of the way the SFA works with them. As a result, the SFA has developed an action plan to address the key issues that were raised by people’s responses. The main actions are:
- To reduce as far as possible the amount of complexity involved in the implementation of policies and processes.
- To make the system for procuring provision more transparent and responsive to the needs of the sector.
- To improve the consistency and responsiveness of Agency staff in responding to queries from colleges and training organisations.
- To reduce, rationalise and improve the quality of the Agency’s communications with the sector.
A summary of the survey results and the actions planned to address the issues raised is available on the SFA website.
