SERVICES

Services

One system. Every seat at the table.

The Unified Competence Blueprint shows one connected competence system, viewed from many positions — the individual, the employer, the standards bodies, the assurers.

Our services work the same way. Wherever you sit in the system, we help you connect into it: defining competence, governing it, delivering it, evidencing it and sustaining it.

We work across every aspect of competence — from skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours (SKEB) frameworks for professional and dutyholder roles, to Minimum Technical Competence (MTC) requirements for trades operating under Competent Person Schemes (CPS), TrustMark and card schemes.

We don’t sell activity. Every engagement is defined by the outcome it leaves in place.

Trade associations and Standard Setting Bodies

Build and govern competence on behalf of your sector — and turn it into a service your members value.

Competence framework in place — role-based competence definitions built on skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours (SKEB), aligned to Minimum Technical Competence requirements where they apply, with pathways and an implementation roadmap.

Standard Setting Body (SSB) and competence governance ready — governance structure, terms of reference, conflict-of-interest framework and the evidence regulators expect.

Competence pathways and qualifications aligned — training needs analysis (TNA), apprenticeships, and mapping to National Occupational Standards (NOS) and qualifications.

Skills funding secured and embedded — funding strategy, bids, compliance and reporting.

Digital competence system live — digital competence model with learning management system (LMS) and skills card integration.

Competence assurance and audit model implemented — assurance framework, audit model, complaints and appeals.

Member competence advisory service live — member clinics, guidance and Building Safety Act readiness support.

Regulatory readiness assurance pack — gap analysis, risk register and board assurance report.

Competence service commercialised — a board-approved business case and pricing model that makes it self-sustaining.

Employers and contractors

Know your workforce is competent — and be able to prove it.

Workforce competence framework in place — role-based requirements for every role, from trades covered by Minimum Technical Competence (MTC) guidance to professional and dutyholder roles defined through skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours (SKEB) frameworks and the Building Safety Act.

Competence management system live — one view of records, cards, qualifications and gaps, integrated with your existing human resources and learning management systems.

Training aligned and funded — training plans driven by training needs analysis and connected to apprenticeships, qualifications and available funding.

Supply chain competence assured — competence requirements flowed into procurement and subcontractor management.

Building Safety Act readiness — gap analysis, risk register and the competence evidence dutyholders must produce.

Clients, developers and asset owners

Make competence a condition of working on your assets — not an assumption.

Competence requirements embedded in procurement — clear, proportionate criteria written into tenders and contracts.

Supply chain competence visibility — assurance that the organisations and individuals on your projects meet defined standards.

Dutyholder assurance pack — the evidence base an accountable person needs to demonstrate competent appointments.

Training providers and awarding organisations

Deliver what the industry actually needs — and get recognised for it.

Provision aligned to frameworks — curriculum and assessment mapped to National Occupational Standards, Minimum Technical Competence guidance and sector competence frameworks, with Standard Setting Body approval routes.

Demand-led delivery capability — provision shaped by real employer training-needs data.

Funding secured and compliant — funding strategy, bids and the compliance to sustain them.

Certification, card and Competent Person Schemes

Make competence evidence portable between schemes, employers and systems — whether you operate a card scheme, a Competent Person Scheme, or TrustMark-registered provision.

Scheme aligned to common frameworks — scheme requirements mapped to shared competence definitions, so evidence is portable rather than repeated.

Minimum Technical Competence embedded — MTC requirements built into scheme entry, surveillance and renewal, with clear routes for existing members to demonstrate compliance.

Digital credentials and interoperability — competence records that move with the individual.

Assurance and audit model implemented — third-party assurance readiness and audit models regulators recognise.

Government and regulators

Turn competence policy into working implementation.

System design and gap analysis — where the competence landscape duplicates, conflicts or falls short of policy intent.

Implementation blueprints — practical models showing how policy operates through existing industry structures.

Evidence of system performance — what’s working, what isn’t, and what proportionate intervention looks like.

HOW WE WORK

One system, connected from every seat

Every offer above is built from the same nine engines: framework definition, governance, pathway alignment, funding, digital records, assurance, advisory, regulatory readiness and commercial sustainability.

We don’t build a different system for each client. We connect each client into the same system — from their seat. That’s what makes the outcome interoperable rather than another silo.

Not sure where you fit? Start with a conversation. We’ll map your position against the Unified Competence Blueprint and show you the shortest route from where you are to a working competence system.
