South Western Railway

The Internal Quality Assurance Award (IQA) is aimed at individuals within an organisation who are responsible for planning managing and/or verifying assessors.

Many individuals across the railway undertake assessments from maintenance staff, to guards and drivers. The level of knowledge across these individuals can vary significantly.

SWR had been using a competitor platform to manage their competence for a number of years and decided to move to AssessTech’s ACMS solution as it offered more options that met all their business requirements.

As you will have read in our previous blog, we have moved all our training to video conferencing as most of our candidates are now working from home. The online training is going so well, we may even consider maintaining it as a permanent option alongside classroom training after we return to normal.

As one of the UK’s leading training partners to the UK rail industry we understand how important it is for the safety of your staff, customers and the railway to maintain staff training and assessments.

We’d like to think we’re pretty innovative in our thinking, so as a result of the Coronavirus live event ban, we quickly moved all our training courses to interactive video conferencing this week.
