Fedcap and The Verdancy Group have been accredited to the UK Government’s Department for Education’s international matrix Standard, demonstrating the high-quality advice and support they provide to customers.
Since 2019 Fedcap has supported over 120,000 customers across the UK improve their economic mobility through its workforce development, health and education practices.
The Verdancy Group – a leading provider of green skills training and sustainability education and consultancy – joined not-for-profit organisation Fedcap last year. Its new Apex Training arm is helping expand and strengthen the group’s training provision across the UK.
The matrix Standard is the international quality mark for organisations that deliver information, advice and/or guidance either as their sole purpose or as part of their service offering. Owned by the Department for Education, the standard is managed by The Growth Company on its behalf.
Christine McMahon, President and CEO of Fedcap, said: “It’s an honour for Fedcap and The Verdancy Group to gain this accreditation to sit alongside training providers, universities, and further/ higher education colleges around the world.
“By recognising strong leadership, clear governance and a genuine commitment to learning and continuous improvement, the matrix Standard is a mark of Fedcap’s mission to positively impact the economic mobility of our customers.”
Roger Chapman, Head of the matrix Service for The Growth Company, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for Fedcap and The Verdancy Group, and I would like to congratulate the teams on their success.
“We believe that at the heart of high-quality advice and support services are strong leadership, excellent service and a focus on continuous improvement, all underpinned by effective use of the resources available.
“The matrix Standard is designed to benchmark organisations against best practice in these areas. With their accreditation success, Fedcap and The Verdancy Group are working to provide the best possible support to their customers.”
