You and Us
Data is at the heart of your organisation. It is a reflection of the world as seen by others. We believe that to control and exploit data your people must understand your world and have a mastery of tools, techniques and disciplines.
Everything we do is focused around that belief. We create courses to provide business knowledge, data skills, governance capabilities and foster collaboration. We provide certifications to attest to attainment and create confidence. We provide tailored consulting services to help you focus on areas that are crucial to your organisational or personal development.

Approach to Training and Assessment
EDMworks Modular Program
Modules are self-contained units of study which are delivered through eLearning, live courses and workshops.
Assessment is a key part of the program as it allows delegates to formulate a personal action plan that will lead to achieving mastery level. This learning program involves assessment of competence, skills and knowledge. Learning will be delivered through a combination of:
• Applied practice
• Coaching
• Experience
• Training
• Support and advice
Quality
QA is an on-going process integrated into the delivery of each module.
EDMwork’s is responsible for monitoring learning delivery and assessment practice both internally at client’s workplace and externally through EDMwork’s verifiers. There must be valid, authentic and sufficient evidence for all assessment criteria. We ensure optimum delivery and assessment consistency of our qualifications through:
• Management systems
• Maintaining records
• Assessment records
• Internal verification
• External verification
Assessment
Assessment is achieved by a process of documenting, in measurable terms the development of individual learning. EDMworks uses Learning Management Systems which provides individual records of progress, targets and achievement. For modules where competence is being assessed methods include:
• observation of performance and products from the work environment
• professional discussion with delegate
• witness testimony/questioning/interviews
For modules where skills and knowledge are being assessed:
• oral and written questions
• assignments
• case studies
• accreditation of prior learning
Delegates will be assessed on completion of portfolios of evidence and questioned by their assessor on relevant underpinning knowledge. Completed portfolios will be internally verified in addition to being verified by the awarding body’s External Verifier.
