About Academy Training Group
Established in 2009 Academy Training was set up by a like minded group of training professionals who wanted to set new standards in the industry. All the founder members of Academy had extensive experience in training, but as important, great experience in a variety of other industries. This allowed the company to look open minded at how training was and is being delivered by the training industry and evaluate what works, what doesn't and what needed to be improved. Backed by significant investment the company has sought to achieve innovation and creativity in bringing the latest technologies and best practice to Adult Skills Training.
This top to bottom revolutionary approach at how training has been challenging and our teams of assessors, IV's and support staff will testify to some pain and frustrations in working towards our goals of providing the best service possible to both our Learners and funding partners by delivering outstanding performance and exceptional standards of training and assessment. All this has been achieved with the support of our awarding bodies NOCN CSkills Award, City and Guilds, GQA, ATHE, IQ and EAL who have been supportive and very impressed by the way we work.
We honestly believe we have set new standards in the industry but don't take our word for it, we are more than happy for you to speak to our Funding Partners, Employers, Learners or the Awarding bodies to hear it first hand, we are confident you will be impressed with what you hear.
