A Birmingham-based independent training provider has been judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted after a “rapid” two-year turnaround.
Inspectors have heaped praise on leaders of The NVQ Training Centre Ltd, trading as The Apprentice Centre, which had 161 apprentices on the books at the time of an inspection last month, for their “significant and rapid progress” in turning around the quality of training.
The report, published today, awarded top ‘outstanding’ grades for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management and apprenticeships.
Each of those inspection judgements improved from ‘requires improvement’ when the provider was last inspected two years ago.
