Success and Achievements
It’s been another successful year for the college, with a string of awards and accolades coming our way.
Not only have we been named the UK’s 14th best place to work in the public sector by The Sunday Times, we have also retained our prestigious star rating in the 2010 Best Companies accreditation scheme, which recognise organisations that show high levels of employee engagement. In fact, we are the only FE college in the East Midlands – and one of just a handful across the country – to be accredited.
More recently the college achieved the Training Quality Standard in recognition of our high-quality work with employers, while our Information, Advice and Guidance team scooped the Matrix national quality standard for the advice offered to learners.
This followed our Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents bronze award for our commitment to health and safety, and Association of Colleges Beacon Award for saving £5 million through smart procurement.
We are proud to be a Beacon college – the first in Nottinghamshire to earn this status, in recognition of education providers that are exceptionally well managed and deliver outstanding teaching and learning. Only colleges that achieve Grade 1 (Outstanding) for Leadership and Management in their Ofsted report and no less than Grade 2 (Good) in all other areas are eligible for this.
