Announcing the CLO100 Strategic Learning Provider Certification

London (UK), September 2024 - (by Cathy Hoy, CEO CLO 100) CLO100 has launched Strategic Learning Provider Certification, which elevates learning providers by recognising excellence in strategic solutions. With three levels, Strategic, Silver, and Gold, certification enhances credibility and marketability and distinguishes learning providers as leaders in delivering strategic learning and development (L&D) solutions.

With an increasing demand for strategic learning solutions, the Strategic Learning Provider Certification from CLO100 offers an unrivalled opportunity for learning providers to showcase their commitment to excellence.

Providing external validation and assurance, obtaining the certification distinguishes organisations as a trusted and reliable partner in the competitive landscape of learning and development.

CLO100 believe that every certification awarded presents a promise of safety, trust, and quality to the clients of the certified providers.

The certification is designed to recognise learning providers that demonstrate significant progress in aligning their training solutions directly with their client's business goals.

It is available in three levels, each recognising the pioneering practices within the industry:

  1. Strategic Learning Provider - identifies organisations that have embarked on their journey towards delivering strategic learning solutions, demonstrating significant initial progress in aligning their training solutions with client business goals.
  2. Strategic Learning Provider (Silver) - is awarded to organisations that not only integrate advanced, innovative learning methodologies and technologies, but also demonstrate a strong commitment to strategic alignment.
  3. Strategic Learning Provider (Gold) - is the highest level of certification, and is awarded to organisations that exemplify industry leadership through groundbreaking learning solutions and unparalleled strategic alignment with client business goals.

By making the commitment to attain the Strategic Learning Provider Certification, learning providers are making a statement to existing and potential clients that they are deeply committed to delivering exceptional, results-driven learning solutions.

The certification measures key criteria, including

  • strategic alignment with client business goals
  • quality of collaboration with client stakeholders
  • ability to understand and respond to client needs
  • demonstration of the impact of training on client business outcomes

The robust process ensures that certified providers not only receive recognition, but constructive feedback aimed at refining and enhancing their practices.

Achieving this certification enhances credibility and differentiates organisations from their competitors within the crowded L&D marketplace, giving them a competitive advantage when attracting new customers. Furthermore, it can be leveraged as a powerful marketing tool to enhance their brand's visibility and reputation in the industry.

The Strategic Learning Provider Certification from CLO100 is a commitment to excellence, strategic alignment with client objectives, and innovation. It demonstrates to the world that Certification holders have what it takes to deliver exceptional, strategically aligned learning solutions.
