Background shape

FEEDBACK QUOTES

Learners and apprentices develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to make progress in their careers.

Tutors meet the specific needs of learners and apprentices well. For example, where they identify that apprentices would benefit from more direct experience of a topic at work, they arrange for apprentices to shadow relevant colleagues.

Tutors work particularly well with employers to ensure that they teach topics that match closely to apprentices' development at work.

Tutors are subject specialists with highly relevant industry experience. They plan the courses they teach well.

Senior leaders have high aspirations for learners and apprentices. They make appropriate and timely changes to the curriculum, which ensures that they continue to offer courses that are most useful to learners and apprentices.

Learners and apprentices rightly feel safe during their studies. They identify a positive and supportive culture at CT Skills.

Learners and apprentices demonstrate vastly increased levels of knowledge and skills as a result of their studies.
