...What Ofsted said about us

Awarded grade 2 across all subject areas...

The effectiveness of leadership and management

"Due to the enthusiasm and drive of the managing director, all involved with NCT are clear about the company's strategic vision. As a family orientated company, directors are passionate about providing high quality training and employment for local people. These core values permeate all activities run by NCT and those associated with the provider are very clear about its vision and priorities for the future".

"Strong and motivational leaders have a clear and effective strategy for business development and a firm focus on supporting local community initiatives and charities".

"The provider has strong partnerships with employers, local business networks and Jobcentre Plus. NCT is highly regarded by all stakeholders who speak openly of the positive attitude towards working relationships. The provider is highly supportive of local charities and heavily involved in community projects. Very good use is made of labour market information to inform accurate and effective business planning".

Outcomes for learners

"Success rates for learners are improving and are now higher than the national rate. Workplace learners and classroom-based learners achieve consistently well and higher than national rates"

"Many apprentices gain promotion at work and almost all are given additional responsibilities in their job roles as they acquire new skills and abilities".

"NCT has recently implemented a very useful questionnaire for learners to measure the impact of learning on their social and personal lives. This has identified that a significant majority of learners have increased their social skills, self- esteem and employability skills".

The quality of learning, teaching and assessment

"Learners receive a thorough induction to the organisation and all elements of the programme. All learners identify the best way for them to learn. Training advisors use this to agree ways of working during the programme, for example, the choice of electronic or paper-based portfolio with options to digitally record guided discussions. This helps to establish a strong supportive relationship which facilitates learning well".

"Creative technologies including tablets and smart phones are used imaginatively. This effectively encourages learners to use the internet to gain a broader understanding of current issues".

"The information, advice and guidance learners receive are very effective and ensure a high proportion of them progress into jobs, gain promotion and move on to higher courses".
