FRS personnel are growing increasingly aware of the relevance of the PQAs. Many are looking for support as they begin to recognise the importance of these standards for successful performance of future roles.

Although the PQAs are useable and straight-forward, it can be difficult for organisations to know where to start when it comes to embedding the concepts into team and individual behaviours.

We now offer a comprehensive PQA development programme, ideal for organisations which:

• Need to provide developmental support to unsuccessful candidates post-ADC
• Seek further opportunties to develop management and leadership potential
• Are keen to provide proactive support to individuals pre-ADC
• Recognise the value of embedding the PQA behaviours at a team and individual level

Depending on needs, PQA development programmes can be used:

• With individuals
• With teams
• In a facilitated context
• On a self-study basis
• In modules
• Through an intensive course
• Over several weeks
• As part of a leadership development approach
• To fit with existing training or development activity
• With internal or external facilitation

Our PQA development programme addresses the development needs of personnel in relation to the FRS core standards and values. It will maximise the performance of your team, and improve the potential of line managers/ internal facilitators to meet the PQA standards themselves.

By encouraging the demonstration of consistently high PQA standards, teams and individuals will be able to:

• reflect on their learning and seek new developmental opportunities;
• accept and support change more readily, recognising any blocks to this;
• assess and adapt methods of communication;
• look for ways to ensure excellence;
• manage their own emotions and react appropriately to those of others;
• resolve difficulties creatively
• collaborate with others to seek best outcomes
• demonstrate positive and appropriate behaviours in relation to issues of equality and diversity 

This programme provides facilitators* with all the tools and materials they need to develop themselves to deliver this type of training, and also support their team to maximise their PQA potential.

* Sessions can be facilitated by VCA consultants in a revised workshop format if preferred. We also have modules which individuals can work through on a ‘self study’ basis.

Some of the materials we provide:

• Practical exercises to facilitate understanding around performance of the PQAs
• PQA familiarisation test statements and exercises
• PQA self- assessment materials
• Comprehensive discussion of each of the PQAs and what they mean in practice
• Guidelines of how to set and meet targets
• Feedback skills development materials.

We also offer

PQA familiarisation and development workshops
Personality/ motivational profiling and individual skills coaching
Training for line managers in development and appraisal activity for their team post ADC
