What our clients say... "Helen operated as the standards expert in our Core Review Working Group. She has provided us with invaluable guidance on standards presentation, layout and language and edited work produced by our own IT experts. (This work is now being used as an example of good practice by QCA for the development of National Occupational Standards and the signposting of Key/Core Skills). In addition, Helen has produced various papers for accreditation purposes, assisted with questionnaire design, the development of an Assessment Strategy and briefed our Special Interest Group on the matter. She has formed close and positive working relationships with all our team. I have no hesitation in recommending her consultancy services."
Gordon Greaves Director of Standards and Qualifications ITNTO
"Helen France Associates have regularly undertaken consultancy work for the Scottish Qualifications Authority and have consistently delivered excellent products. Their knowledge of all aspects of the standards setting process is unsurpassed. This level of technical skill, combined with the ability to communicate equally effectively with the representatives of employers and education, has been a significant factor in the development of effective vocational qualifications. I am pleased to offer the highest recommendation to this consultancy."
	Dr. Peter Bogg Qualifications Manager Scottish Qualifications Authority

"Helen France Associates conducted the review of five sets of our standards. HFA combined the ability to communicate with a wide range of employers with an in depth understanding of the latest accrediting body requirements. All involved were very impressed with the way Helen and her team quickly got up to speed with the ins and outs of our industries and translated the enormous amount of feedback into a coherent set of standards on paper. We now have the best set of standards to date."
