Key Strengths Identified:

• Leaders develop apprenticeship programmes that meet the needs of employers very well. Employers are right to value the expertise of the provider’s staff and the industrial relevance of the curriculum. 
• Leaders make good use of information from employers to identify current priorities and to inform the programme content. 
• Leaders accurately identify areas for improvement. They routinely reflect on the delivery and management of the programme to identify potential lessons for the  future. 
• Trainers use their significant subject and industry expertise helpfully to relate theory to practice. Apprentices benefit from highly relevant and current examples to demonstrate the application of theoretical models.  
• Trainers make good use of the information they have about apprentices to plan a meaningful programme of on- and off-the-job training. 
• Trainers give useful feedback that helps apprentices to improve the standard of their work. Apprentices are clear on how to improve their work. As a result, they develop their written and practical skills. 
• Leaders provide apprentices with a range of training packages and useful information about keeping safe. All apprentices complete suitable training on safeguarding, online safety, and the risks associated with radicalisation and extremism. Apprentices know how to identify risks and report concerns.  

We will continue to strive for excellence in all that we do to ensure our learners receive the highest quality training and development.
