Education Excellence Awards

Training Provider of the Year Award

Skills that get people into good work.

About this category

This award recognises an apprenticeship, adult learning or skills training provider whose programmes help learners gain skills and good jobs. Judges look for achievement, employer satisfaction and learner progression.

Eligibility

  • Open to apprenticeship
  • Adult learning and skills training providers

Judging criteria

  • Achievement
  • Progression into work
  • Employer partnership
  • Learner support
  • Quality

Qualitative criteria

Training that employers value and learners use.

Metrics

  • Achievement rates
  • Job outcomes
  • Employer feedback and learner feedback

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, feedback from pupils, students, parents or colleagues. Never include names, images or any detail that could identify a child, pupil or student: describe work in anonymised terms and give results as percentages or ranges. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size and context of the setting, so small schools and providers compete on equal terms.
