You should know that... 

  • Training Standards were developed by the Canadian Labour Force Development Board (CLFDB) in 1995. 
  • They are recommended standards intended to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of Canadas training system. 
  • They are national standards developed through extensive consultation with the labour market partners across Canada by the CLFDB as a non-governmental body. According to the CLFDB and others, national standards are necessary. 
  • They are customer-oriented standards reflecting the consensus view of the consumers of training services, with input from the providers. 
  • They are not a passing fad. There are, for example, plans to turn them into a consumers guide for individual students to use. Training organizations are already using the FuturEd Training Quality Audit, based on the Standards, to determine their competitive advantage. Sector councils are distributing the Training Standards widely. 
  • They are being promoted by FuturEd, through formal agreement with the CLFDB, to increase awareness and use of the Training Standards.
