TRAINING provider Alliance Learning continues to provide a good service.

During a short inspection Ofsted found that the training provider has remained good, maintaining its grade two standing.

Kelly Perkin, Alliance Learning operations executive, said: "This is a huge achievement for us here at Alliance Learning. I would personally like to thank all of my colleagues for their hard work and determination in ensuring we maintained our grade two.

"Quality Improvement is at the forefront of everything we do here at Alliance Learning. Our main focus now is to reach a grade one by our next inspection and I’m confident this is something that, together, we can do."

Ofsted found that apprentices on early years and playwork, engineering, administration and business management programmes receive good-quality teaching, training, learning and assessments,

adding that senior managers have high expectations for the success of apprentices and have set 'demanding targets for their achievements'.

The number of apprentices who successfully complete their course was high.

Board members were found to be well informed about 'all aspects of the provision' and on track to further enhance the service.

Julie Robinson, chief executive, said: "I am incredibly proud of the team here at Alliance Learning. This Ofsted grade recognises the experience and dedicated staff we have to ensure continuous quality for our apprentices."
