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

“Adult learners, the majority of whom have not studied for many years, value the positive impact of tutor feedback on their confidence levels.”

Ofsted, 2023

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

“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.”

Ofsted, 2023
