A globalized and rapidly changing knowledge-based economy demands that people continue to acquire new skills and knowledge for their entire professional and private life. The formal system of education plays an important role in the development of human resources within a country. However, in terms of meeting the rapidly evolving needs of individuals and societies it is not always effective and enough. Private learning services providers have greater flexibility in responding to such needs quickly.
However, with cross-border job mobility growing in the global economy, more and more private providers are extending their international presence and offering learning services to learner’s globally.ISO 29993 is intended to provide a generic frame of reference for professional learning services providers for quality learning services.
