Accredited Commissioning Courses - Level 4 Qualification 2010-11-10 London

10th November 2010 - London Unit 1 - Developing Outcome Based Commissioning in the Public and Third Sector 24th November 2010 – London Unit 06 - Developing Outcome Based Tenders and Service Specifications in the Public and Third Sector Why these accredited courses? As public sector budgets are drastically squeezed, many commissioners may think their only option is to cut existing services. But what if you could commission more for less? The coalition government emphasises the need to commission for outcomes. Commissioners who purchase on an outcomes basis see an increase in the positive impact on clients. This kind of commissioner is invaluable to any organisation facing challenging budget cuts. Gaining qualifications is the first step for you to becoming that kind of commissioner. The Centre for Public Innovation delivers eight accredited units in the field of commissioning for outcomes. These units are specifically for commissioners of health, social care, criminal justice and children’s services who want to achieve better outcomes from decreasing budgets. Each unit carries a Level 4 award qualification with the national awarding body, NCFE. A Level 4 award recognises specialist learning and involves detailed analysis of a high level of information and knowledge in an area of work or study. Learning at this level is appropriate for people working in technical and professional jobs, and/or managing and developing others. Each unit represents a component of the commissioning cycle, with all eight units together covering the whole commissioning cycle. Students can do just one unit to up-skill in a particular area, or any number up to eight units. Unit 01 Developing Outcome Based Commissioning in the Public and Third Sector Unit 02 Developing Needs Led Assessment to Determine Commissioning in the Public and Third Sector Unit 03 Stimulating the Provider Market to Deliver Services in the Public and Third Sector Unit 04 Involving Service Users and Other Stakeholders in the Commissioning of Services in the Public and Third Sector Unit 05 Using Procurement to Commission Outcomes within the Public and Third Sector Unit 06 Developing Outcome Based Tenders and Service Specifications in the Public and Third Sector Unit 07 Developing Outcome Based Performance Management within the Public and Third Sector Unit 08 Encouraging Innovation in the Commissioning of Services in the Public and Third Sector. Unit requirements Each unit involves one full day of classroom training plus a minimum of four hours self-study on a specific assignment. The assignment will be based on your real life workload. This assignment will be marked and individual feedback provided to you by your course tutor. Most commissioning courses tell you what you should do but rarely show you how. We know that people need something more tangible and practical as they face the challenging road ahead. Email bernadette.bruton@publicinnovation.org.uk for more details on our November units.
