Legal Entity and Institutional Readiness
Before anyone looks at your training
An accreditation application asks a question before it asks anything about teaching: is this a real, lawful, going concern that will still exist in three years? 🏛️
It is an unglamorous stage, and it is where applications are most often delayed — not because the answers are hard, but because the documents are scattered across three people and two of them are out of date.
Pass the challenge and it arrives straight away as a PDF. Add it to your CV or LinkedIn, and anyone can check it's real.

Accreditation is granted for a scope and a period. Learn to track what you actually hold, spot the date that expires first, and handle change without drifting outside it.
Walk the whole accreditation path from legal entity to site visit, see which stages block which, and learn where applications actually stall.
Secure and evidence the workplace side — agreements, mentors, logbooks and learner placement — the part of an application that depends on someone else.
Learn how the QCTO system fits together — the roles of the QCTO, an SDP, an AQP and a SETA, and how an occupational qualification is actually built.
Learn which policy areas a training provider needs, what turns a document into a controlled policy, and how to keep a QMS alive instead of letting it expire quietly.

Toolbox talks, inductions, refreshers and revision that people finish, because each one fits in a tea break and runs on the phone they already carry.
Need a topic we don't have? Request it. The topics people ask for most are the ones we write next.
Your people get a WhatsApp message or an email link and learn on their own phones. No logins to manage.
Print an A4 poster for the canteen, staffroom or site office. A scan opens the MicroQuest.
Every completion has a numbered certificate you can check online, which is useful for toolbox talks and inductions.
skillSYMS clients publish their own MicroQuests (policies, site rules, product knowledge) for their own people.
