Have all the Nuclear Client base signed up to adhering to the same standard with formal agreements in place?


Yes.  All Industry Training Standards developed to date, have been agreed and endorsed by industry through the Cogent SSC NISSAG (Nuclear Industry Standard Setting Advisory Group) and the NESG (Nuclear Employer’s Steering Group)as per the approval process. 

 
The Skills Academy now have in place for these standards, endorsement guidelines which will enable an organisation to self assess their current delivery versus the Industry Training Standards for inclusion of such training on the Nuclear Skills Passport.  It is noted however, that in order to ensure consistency and standardisation of internal and external delivery to such standards, all organisations will be expected to have in place an action plan with an aim to achieving either the NEF Nuclear Assured or TQSE quality mark within a period of 6 months. If such training is continued to be recorded on the Nuclear Skills Passport system.
