REC Accredited Induction Scheme

The Accredited Induction Scheme (AIS) was launched in 1990 by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and is designed to recognise the in-house induction training given to new consultants where the training syllabus covered, dovetails with the REC Certificate in Recruitment Practice.

Randstad Education is the first Education recruitment consultancy that has successfully received formal accreditation by the REC. Some of the key criteria which Randstad Education must continue to meet as follows;

Randstad Education must continue to offer a formal structured induction training programme which dovetails with the REC Certificate syllabus,
Randstad Education must continue to employ a trainer who has overall responsibility for the delivery of training and the conduct of the REC examination, and
Randstad Education must hold examinations at least every six months in accordance with the REC guidelines.

Randstad Education has always been dedicated to the development of our Education Consultants and the accreditation of our induction training reinforces this message to our clients and candidates. AIS assures clients of a consistent service across our network of offices, whereby they can trust Randstad Education to apply the same rigorous recruitment standards every time, whether we are recruiting a teaching assistant or a head teacher. In turn, we are able to provide new recruits with an industry recognised qualification which is important if we wish to continue to attract and retain the best people.
