What Colleges say:

I've completed NVQs before and having just completed my Level 3 on Ecordia, it is just a different world from paper-based training.

The main things for me are that I can work anywhere at anytime, I receive feedback from my assessor much quicker - sometimes within minutes - and working on my NVQ is totally straight-forward, the system helps organise and prioritise what work I have to do. Great!"

Improved efficiency and productivity

Ecordia transforms the way F.E Colleges deliver their training - by breaking-down barriers between learner and assessor and widening participation. Paperwork is reduced and the workflow streamlined. Data is stored centrally, so everyone works in the same space.

On the front-line of training, unnecessary meetings will be minimised. Candidates will get timely assessment feedback and managers have instant access to reports. All this is aided by quick and easy communications through an internal messaging system. The results of this are a substantial increase in candidate progress and motivated, productive assessors allow for more candidates per assessor. In conjunction with this you will have higher standards of service & delivery along with increased profit margin, whilst enhancing your existing quality assurance process.
