Benesse UK director, Matthew Roberts, Fellow of the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) joined other members of the CIMSPA Quality Assurance Associate (QAA) Team at the CIMSPA offices at Sports Park, Loughborough University for the inaugural standardisation meeting hosted by Colin Heffen, Head of Education at CIMSPA and Scheme Administrator Jane Mellors.
As a member of the QAA team, Matthew has been selected to undertake the following on behalf of CIMSPA:
conducts external quality assurance visits to education partners
contributes to the evaluation of prospective education partners
attends standardisation and training meetings
demonstrates a commitment to maintaining professional competence through CPD.
Background
CIMSPA is committed to supporting Sport England as part of the government’s overall ‘Sporting Future’ vision.
The strategy places CIMSPA at the centre of sector workforce development, with a mandate to extend the reach of its quality assured training and CPD offer for all sport and physical activity professionals.
Under the strategy, Sport England’s goals include that:
Every sector training provider is working within the CIMSPA endorsement and quality assurance system by 2021.
50% of the workforce will be engaged with CIMSPA-accredited CPD and the number of CIMSPA employer partners will have doubled, within the same timescale.
A new Workforce Diversity Fund will be created to support organisations looking to ensure their workforce reflects the communities it serves.
The strategy confirms CIMSPA’s role as a lead partner for both government and Sport England in the delivery of the strategy’s five key outcomes, to ensure that everyone in the UK can benefit from the power of sport and physical activity.
I read the article about how Benesse UK is involved in supporting external quality checks for education partners like CIMSPA, and it made me think about how much clear standards matter in learning and training today. I remember once when I was struggling to finish a big task while juggling class readings, I used take my online Philosophy class help service so I could catch up and still understand the ideas I was supposed to learn. That mix of outside help and real study made me value how quality assurance can give students confidence in what they are learning and how it’s taught.
I read the article about how Benesse UK supports quality education and thought it was good to see real steps to help students and trainers get better at teaching and skills. I remember one time I was so behind in my project that I used BTEC Assignment Service late at night so I could finish and still go to class the next day. That made me think that getting help when you need it can make learning feel easier and more fair.
