Training team pass Ofsted test
A TRAINING provider which provides education and apprenticeships to more than 1,500 people has been given a clean bill of health by inspectors.
The North Lancs Training Group (NLTG), based in Accrington, was visited by Ofsted for the first time since 2015.
Inspectors said the award-winning facility ‘continues to be a good provider’ after examining its study programme, business administration, furniture and hospitality, leadership and management, safeguarding, and careers advice and guidance.
In her report, lead inspector Suzanne Wainwright said: “Learners and apprentices are very positive about their learning and training experiences.
“The vast majority would recommend
NLTG to a friend. They find their teachers and tutors helpful and knowledgeable. Most young people with previously poor experiences of education flourish. They develop high expectations of themselves and become increasingly proud of their progress and achievements.
“Apprentices recognise particularly how the new knowledge and skills they develop improve their effectiveness at work.
“Leaders and staff have established a clear and shared understanding of the purpose of their curriculum.
“They focus relentlessly on social justice and inclusion for all.
“Their expectations of what all learners and apprentices can achieve in their futures are high.”
An NLTG spokesperson said they are ‘proud’ to retain their ‘good provider’ Ofsted rating.
