Why do we need Endorsement?(Consider all previous points)

When employers and learners look for learning and development, they want to know that what they commission is the best possible choice.

They also want to get a return on their investment. At a time when employers are facing financial pressure, the need for assurance on the quality of learning and development purchased is all the more important.
