Register of Training Providers

The Education & Skills Consultancy are very experienced in completing RoTO applications on behalf of our clients. With a high success rate we can walk you through the first steps in to a relationship with the Skills Funding Agency. We also offer support from accounts with detailed knowledge of the training and skills sector who will work with you and the bid writer to ensure that your business plan and financial forecasting is of the highest quality.

I found working with James to be very straight forward and effective. I have tried on 3 previous occasions to gain ROTO status and had obviously not understood some of the requirements. James took control and just asked me to provide straight forward information.

Quality of apprenticeships and skills training inquiry launched

The Education Committee launches inquiry into the quality of apprenticeships and skills training.

Purpose of the inquiry

While many independent training providers and further education colleges are providing excellent training, too much provision is poor. For example, Ofsted last year reported that 37% of apprenticeship providers were less than good.

The inquiry examines whether employers, learners and tax payers are getting sufficient value for the time and money invested in training, and whether more needs to be done to detect poor-quality provision.

The inquiry also looks to uncover barriers faced by the socially disadvantaged in accessing skills training and consider how Government funding can be used to remove these barriers.
