Quotes from report

The published report states:

The overall effectiveness of the provision is outstanding. Achievement and standards and the quality of provision are both outstanding, as are provision in Retail and Commercial Enterprise, Business, Administration and Law and Entry to Employment. Leadership and Management and the company’s approach to equality of opportunity are outstanding. Support for all learners is outstanding, as are the arrangements for meeting the needs and interests of learners and partnership arrangements with employers and external agencies.

Ofsted Top 12. At HTP Training we were thrilled to be named as one of the 12 best Training Providers in the country by Ofsted. Those named were selected from organisations across the country who have been judged as ‘Outstanding’ for their work-based training in the last three years.

These training providers display a real drive to inspire, challenge and support young people and adult learners. While their paths to success may vary, they have each made an important contribution to addressing the critical issue of developing skill for employment, while also helping employers to compete in a tough economic environment.
