Charnwood compared nationally are ahead of the game

Managing Partners of a leading Hospitality Training Provider, Charnwood training group, along with its Staff, Learners and National Employers were delighted with the excellent praise received from their recent Ofsted inspection, which graded the National training provider as 'good across the board' and 'when compared on a National scale is ahead of the game'

Charnwood training group provides commercial and government funded work based learning and workforce development training within the catering and hospitality industries.

Of particular merit was the way learners enjoy their training, and statistics prove that most go on to further training or gain promotion at work. In this section 'outcomes for learners', Charnwood was recognised for  'the support and care given to learners is a rare quality to be seen in a work based learning provider and Inspectors commented that 'training officers maintained strong relationships with Learners and showed a genuine passion for training.

Teaching and Learning Provision for 14 -- 16 years old within the Academy are of a 'high quality and extremely well maintained, learning is effective in meeting the needs and interests of all learners.'

Although the Training Provider were expecting an inspection as their last was completed in 2007, they didn't realise they would be inspected under a framework released just 4 weeks prior.

Managing Director, Gerwyn House, nominee for the Inspection stated "In light of this context in which Training Providers are now inspected we are extremely pleased to have achieved such a positive report. These judgements represent the best Ofsted report in Charnwood's history."

The employers whom Charnwood work with gave extremely gratifying feedback and were keen on 'Charnwood's excellent understanding of the hospitality, the support to reduce staff turnover rates and the improved development of learners' customer service skills.'

"We are determined to continue to build on our successes and strengths and are resolute in our determination to make Charnwood the provider and employer of choice." Gerwyn House, Managing Director.
