Multiple training providers are facing contract terminations after Ofsted published a backlog of ‘inadequate’ inspection reports.
Concerning findings were reported in a series of grade four reports this week. These typically lead to the government cancelling the providers’ funding agreements.
Apprentices at Risual Limited were found to have had no formal teaching in over 12 months and were relying on the internet to research the skills and knowledge they felt they needed to work.
Apprentices at London Vocational College Ltd were not aware they were in fact apprentices. The report noted staff “do not have an accurate list of which learners and apprentices are in learning and training … therefore, they cannot assure themselves that learners and apprentices are safe.”
