ISO 29993:2017
Learning Services Outside Formal Education Management System
This standard establishes standards for learning services other than formal schooling, such as all forms of lifelong learning (e.g. vocational training and in-company training, either outsourced or in-house). Any learning services supplied by a learning service provider (LSP) that are addressed to learners as well as sponsors who are procuring the services on behalf of the learners are included in this category. The fact that the learning goals are established and the services are assessed, as well as the fact that they include interaction with the learner, are all important characteristics of these types of services. Face-to-face learning, technology-mediated learning, or a combination of the two is possible.
Advantage:
- Align different aspects of learning services, including as advertising, information supplied to learners, needs analysis, design, assessment, and evaluation, in order to improve learning services' effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency.
- Increase the trustworthiness of learning services
- Develop a paradigm for enhancing learning services that can be shared throughout a company
- Create a globally recognised instrument that indicates the dependability and quality of learning services
