This document discusses setting prices for iGCDP projects to optimize profitability for local communities (LC). It recommends calculating indirect costs, creating a pricing simulation tool, running simulations with different pricing models, and engaging organizational partners in the budgeting process. The outcome was increased pricing led to increased profits. Agreements were signed directly with parent councils rather than schools, bringing incomes into LC budgets. The learning is to carefully examine an LC's cost structure and project areas to determine appropriate pricing and margins that highlight the educational benefits.

Next steps for the regulation of adult vocational qualifications: March 2015Ofqual Slideshare
The executive director discusses next steps for regulating adult vocational qualifications in the UK. He outlines that qualifications should fit into the broader vocational system by signaling achievement without being the sole focus, and that they must be valid and designed with end users in mind. The regulatory approach will focus on outcomes, enable awarding organizations, and tackle perverse incentives. Changes will remove outdated rules and requirements while consulting stakeholders on a new framework. Apprenticeships and functional skills are also addressed.

Training and Evaluation for Shell Company
Training programs can sometimes be costly endeavor for modern firms. In the United States, for example, firms often allocate a total of approximately $170 billion in human resource development and professional courses. These investments are often necessary for attracting and retaining highly talented and qualified employees, and keeping up with contemporary technological requirements. Furthermore, employee participation in high-quality training increases their opportunities for advancements, skill development, as well as professional growth. During financial crises, however, firms often tend to cut the funds that are apportioned for training employees in new skills and competences. These decisions are often regarded as unaffordable luxuries. Thus, evaluation programs should be established to assess the success of training initiatives. Shell Company requires an elaborate and effective evaluation plan to determine if the training benefits justify the financial investments, and if the knowledge and skills that are gained in the training courses are indeed applied in real-work settings.

Welcome and Introduction to EA-Fitness - CYQ - Nick WardCYQ
The European Accreditation Fitness Project aims to transfer accreditation and verification systems for fitness qualifications across Europe. The objectives are to implement EHFA Standards, develop an accreditation system, establish European Register of Exercise Professionals, and conduct research. In the short term, the project will promote EHFA Standards and integrate them within training providers. In the long term, it will increase mobility of fitness professionals and promote best practices and quality assurance across Europe.
Report On A Survey On The Situation Trends And Perspectives In Employment In ...CYQ
The document summarizes a survey conducted by the European Observatoire of Sport and Employment on employment in the fitness sector in selected EU countries. The survey included desk research of employment data from the Netherlands and Portugal as well as an online survey distributed to fitness employers across multiple EU countries. The preliminary conclusions from the survey found a variety of approaches to staff qualifications and training within the fitness sector across EU countries.
The European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS) was established in 2008 to provide a central register of qualified exercise professionals across Europe and increase the skills base of the fitness industry over time. EREPS is based on key EU principles of lifelong learning and works with national registers in various countries to provide a standardized system using common standards and databases. The number of registered professionals in EREPS has grown over 250% in the past year with members now in 28 countries, showing the system is effective at professionalizing the European fitness industry on a large scale.

The EHFA Standards and Fitness Education - EHFA - Alfonso JimenezCYQ
The document discusses standards and education for the health and fitness industry in Europe. It outlines the role of the EHFA Standards Council in providing strategic guidance to achieve EHFA's goal of getting more people more active more often. It discusses different levels of education including non-formal, vocational, and higher education. A survey found that educated and experienced fitness professionals was the top worldwide fitness trend. The document also outlines the European Qualification Framework, which EHFA uses to define qualification levels for the fitness industry. It provides an overview of the EHFA structure and standards development process.
The document summarizes the background, process, and results of the EHFA accreditation project. It describes how EHFA standards were developed in 2005 and an accreditation unit was established in 2007. By 2008, 8 organizations had received early accreditation. Through the EA-Fitness project from 2008-2010, 15 additional organizations were accredited. In total, 26 organizations across multiple European countries successfully received accreditation. The accreditation process involves application submission, standards mapping, site visits, and ongoing monitoring. Moving forward, quality assurance will be conducted nationally and technical verification will be expanded across Europe to ensure continued adoption of standards and mobility of fitness instructors.
European Quality Assurance Reference Framework For VET (EQAVET) - DG EAC - So...CYQ
The document discusses quality assurance in vocational education and training (VET) systems in Europe. It outlines the EQAVET framework, which includes a quality cycle and 10 indicators to help define and monitor quality in VET. The framework provides quality criteria and descriptors at both the system and provider levels to help member states develop quality assurance processes and ensure VET programs meet goals like employability, matching skills with labor market needs, and access for vulnerable groups.
Benefits Of EHFA Accreditation - FIAF - Mimi AdamiCYQ
FIAF is recognized by Italian ministries and regional governments as a provider of vocational education and training in exercise and fitness. FIAF has been awarded accreditations at EQF Levels 3 and 4 for various fitness instructor certifications and personal training. The benefits of accreditation include unifying fitness standards across Europe, facilitating evaluation of professionals, and ensuring safety for exercise participants. However, in Italy there is little regulation of the fitness industry and many instructors seek certificates without proper knowledge or evaluation. Accreditation can also be time consuming and costly, requiring both practical and theoretical evaluation and study.
EHFA has evolved from a small organization in 2001 to a larger organization with 18 member associations from 24 countries by 2010. EHFA developed fitness industry standards and an accreditation system for training providers called EREPS. EHFA secured EU funding for several projects related to standards, vocational education and training, and promoting physical activity. By 2010, EHFA had expanded its operations and staff based in Brussels to represent the fitness industry on EU policy issues like health, employment, and education.
The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) replaces the National Qualifications Framework in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The QCF structures units of learning by credit, where each credit represents 10 hours of learning. Learners can accumulate credits from different providers and qualifications to build toward other qualifications over time. This flexibility benefits both learners and awarding organizations.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
