Assessment Body for Skill Based Assessment
Skill development is top priority for the Government of India. There is renewed impetus for developing a coordinated National Skill Development Policy which places quality and consistency at its heart. Third party assessment and certification is a key mechanism of quality assurance in skill systems across the world and is likely to be a defining feature of the new skill policy in India.
Third party skill assessment is important not only to provide ratification of a learner’s acquired skills for both potential employers and progression to further learning but also an important platform for showcasing India’s rapidly growing skill sector at international level. We are proud to partner with various Skill Councils and provide them support in India’s National Skill Development Policy.
