We start with learners
Every decision starts with the question: is this better for the people we serve? Everything else is downstream of that answer.
“After 20 years in education, including 15 in senior leadership, moving into apprenticeships felt daunting at first. That soon changed. At the National College of Education, I found a team defined by mutual respect and genuine recognition of effort. I've been encouraged to keep developing too, completing an assessor qualification and a second Level 7 apprenticeship within two years. I still love helping people progress, just with adult learners now rather than under-18s.”
