Transferring from SME to Standard Accreditation

  • Transferring from SME to Standard Accreditation

    Use this form to provide details of your courses and assessments when changing your accreditation from SME to Standard

  • Guidance

    Transferring from SME to Standard Accreditation means you will be responsible for the knowledge aspect of course assessment, as well as the practical aspect. Therefore, you need to submit evidence of your capability to deliver effective knowledge assessments.

    Describe how you will deliver knowledge tests for your existing courses in this form (as well as the practical elements). Do not include new courses that were not delivered under your SME Accreditation.

    The assessment approach should be consistent with the key assessment LCS principles:
    i) There should be a knowledge test for each LCS level where a certificate is awarded.
    ii) There should be implementation evidence linked to courses (except 1a).
    iii) An appropriate training course should be delivered for each LCS level where a certificate is awarded.

  • Course 1 - Assessing Practical Competence

  • Describe how the practical element of the assessment will be managed, including the process that the participant will follow after course has been completed. The practical evidence can be in a variety of formats (indicate those used below). The learner should have played a meaningful role in the activity, usually as part of a team with a specific role or on an individual basis. The evidence should be endorsed by an appropriate manager/takeholder to signify it is an accurate account of what happened. 

  • Note on Level 2 Practical Competence

    For LCS Level 2, the evidence of practical capability should be more formal and multi-dimensional, as the practitioner should clearly demonstrate capabilities such as leadership, planning and advanced lean knowledge. In additional, Level 2 projects should have a strategic dimension.
