HC Deb 01 February 1989 vol 146 cc261-2W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the targets against which he proposes to measure quality in the monitoring of training programmes in the "Training for Employment" White Paper.

Mr. Nicholls

[holding answer 10 January 1989]Quality monitoring on employment training is based on three complementary approaches. First, training agents and training managers are required to achieve approved training organisation status; secondly, their performance will be measured against a range of specific indicators; and thirdly, inspections will be carried out by the training standards advisory service. The quantifiable performance indicators are currently being developed by the Training Agency and will be published once they have been agreed.
