Analysis of training needs and definition of objectives
As a first step in the UNITRAIN in-house course, we will analyse the context and training needs of your company: in this way, it is possible to define the areas of intervention, identifying the learning objectives and target participants of the training course.
Of vital importance is the active involvement, from the very first contact with your company, of UNITRAIN Trainers and the UNI Technical Project Manager (TPM): with their support, we will be able to identify the reference standards and practices applicable to your business requirements and suggest their integration into the training programme.
Project Design
In this phase we will define with you the training content, the best teaching methodology, the timing and the project team according to the objectives to be achieved, the target group involved and the skills needed.
For the use of the courses, you can choose the most effective formula for your company’s needs:
- smart learning
- classroom training
- e-learning pills
- a combination of the 3 modes
In this phase we will also define the whole project structure, which may include assessment tools, tools for analysing incoming and outgoing competences, classroom exercises, final reporting, etc.
Finally, we will make a selection of applicable standards and reference practices (identified/suggested in the previous phase) to be included in the training programme and delivered to UNITRAIN in-house course participants.
Organisation and delivery
The UNITRAIN in-house staff will take care of all organisational aspects necessary for the course to take place:
- Coordination of the team of trainers and experts involved
- Activation of the delivery platform or preparation of classrooms
- Provision of teaching materials and standards/practices for the UNITRAIN in-house course
- Tutoring and constant support throughout delivery
- Possible application for and granting of training credits, agreed in advance
- Issuing of certificates of participation in digital format
Follow-up
The last – but not least – phase of the process concerns the conclusion of the training programme, where the feedback in terms of acquired competences is analysed and any further areas to be explored are identified.
At this stage it is therefore essential to collect your feedback with a view to continuous service improvement.

Who is UNI?
UNI – Ente Italiano di Normazione is a non-profit association, whose members, more than 4,000, are enterprises, freelancers, associations, scientific and educational institutes, public administrations. For more than 100 years it has been carrying out technical standardisation activities in all industrial, commercial and tertiary sectors with the exception of the electrical and electrotechnical one. Standards are documents that define the characteristics (performance, environmental, safety, organisation, etc.) of a product, process, service or profession, according to the ‘state of the art’. UNI participates, representing Italy, in the international ISO and European CEN standardisation activities.
Does UNI deal with certifications?
UNI develops technical standards in compliance with which specific accredited bodies issue regular certification. UNI does not therefore deal with certification activities. For information on certifications and certification bodies, consult the Accredia website.
Where can I find the standards?
The catalogue of standards can be reached at this address: https://store.uni.com/
What are public Inquiries?
Public Inquiries are stages in the development process of a UNI standard. The preliminary public Inquiry is initiated in the initial phase, that of the feasibility study, to verify the real interest of the market for the subject that is to be subjected to standardisation. The final public Inquiry, on the other hand, is the phase that precedes the publication of the standard. The document, approved by the competent technical committee, is put online – freely downloadable – so that all interested parties can express their opinion, especially those who did not participate in the preliminary public Inquiry and drafting.
What is a Reference Practice?
Reference practices are UNI documents that introduce technical prescriptions or sectoral application models of technical standards, when there are no national, European or international standards or draft standards.
They may be good practices already in use in citizen/consumer services, sectorial applications of existing specifications, industry specifications, protocols for the management of proprietary trademarks, locally tested management models, nationally adopted CWAs. They are elaborated on the basis of a rapid sharing process among the authors only, no longer than nine months, in special Tables and under the operational guidance of UNI.
How long do Reference Practices remain valid?
Two years after publication, it is considered whether to evolve the reference practice into a normative document. After five years they are either transformed into a UNI standard, UNI/TS, UNI/TR or are withdrawn.
What is the UNI Mark?
The voluntary UNI Mark certifies that the certified requirements of products, services, systems or professions are established by UNI through standards or reference practices. UNI entrusts the management of the granting of the UNI Mark to certification bodies accredited by Accredia.
What is the Keymark?
The Keymark is the European conformity mark owned by CEN/CENELEC. It is a voluntary mark managed by third-party bodies, which ensures compliance with the requirements set out in European standards.
