  • Feedback

    Learner Feedback We are interested in your feedback as this ensures that we can continually improve our services. You will, at the end of your course, be asked to complete learner feedback about your experiences whilst learning with us. All feedback is valuable to us, and helps us plan for the future. Annually, our funders ask you for feedback as well. Please take part actively to ensure that the funders are made aware of how you value this service and the impact learning opportunities have on your lives.


    Learner Focus Groups are held annually in the summer term. These are held in every centre in small face to face groups. These sessions encourage you to feedback experiences often around a set of themes. Once again, their aim is to identify good practice but also to encourage you to contribute to the continuous improvement of our service.


    The Learner Voice publication is available every term and is, as the title suggests, a chance for you to highlight your achievements and experiences whilst learning with us. Please do talk to your tutor and ask about this publication to make sure your voice is being heard.
