The matrix standard is a nationally-recognised framework used to assess an organisation’s competency in the field of Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG). Matrix accreditation is a recognition of an organisation’s high standards of IAG delivery, particularly in the areas of careers and education. This seal of approval allows IAG providers to demonstrate their knowledge and passion and resonates perfectly with ATLs mission of Actively Transforming Lives.

Any organisation which manages, administers and delivers an IAG service to support individuals in their career, learning, work or life goals has the chance to achieve matrix accreditation. Independent external assessors review the process, delivery and development of an organisation’s advice and guidance provision, with an emphasis on interviewing real service users for their genuine opinions about the service they have received.

ATL are very proud to have held full matrix accreditation continuously since 2013, working year-on-year to review our advice and guidance services against a structured framework that ensures our quality support enables learners to make informed decisions about their future careers.
