Benefits of Using SkilSure®

It is estimated that the cost of using the SkilSure® e-portfolio is about 50% of the cost of using a hard copy portfolio. The major savings are Assessor and Internal Verifier time and expenses, reductions in printing and photocopying, and document transmission and storage costs.

Cost Savings and Beyond:
Transforming Your Processes

SkilSure® transforms the way that Colleges, Training Providers and Employers manage learning activity and assess their learners. In addition to cost savings there are huge benefits:

* Assessors are e-mailed when candidates submit evidence and deal promptly with it. Assessment turnaround time is reduced, candidates progress more rapidly, their motivation increases and on average they complete their qualification faster than those using a paper portfolio. SkilSure® builds and maintains relationships between candidates and assessors.

* There is real-time monitoring of candidate progress. Assessors can see at-a-glance which candidates are inactive and address the issue. With SkilSure® Candidate dropouts are significantly decreased.

* Staff administrative time is reduced. Record keeping, progress reporting and compliance reporting are automated.

* SkilSure® has been designed to incorporate QCF/NVQ Quality Assurance processes. Using SkilSure® will improve your Quality Assurance and consistency of quality assessment.

"Assessors used to have to plough through three or more folders of evidence from a single candidate. There was so much stuff we actually had to pay archive fees to store it all. We can also provide our candidates with robust sources of information on how they are progressing."
