A WARRINGTON college has been named one of the best in England for apprenticeships.
Newly released data revealed that Warrington & Vale Royal College is one of the top ten further education colleges in the country for its achievements in apprenticeships.
The Qualification Achievement Rates (QARs) data is released annually, offering insight into the performance of further education colleges and training organisations nationwide.
And the data compares the number of apprentices who successfully achieve their qualifications against the total number of apprentices who enrolled on the programme, providing a benchmark for an apprenticeship training provider’s performance.
The Winwick Road college has demonstrated ‘remarkable success’, surpassing the national average by an outstanding 13.7 per cent.
It now has the highest QAR rating for further education colleges in the Cheshire region and has surpassed the Government Skills Minister’s ambitious achievement rate target for 2025, demonstrating a significant upward trend for the success of its apprentices.
Director for quality and apprenticeship delivery, Andrew Atkin, commented: "We are thrilled to be recognised among the top performers in England for our apprenticeship achievement rates.
“Our score reflects the hard work and dedication of our students, staff and industry partners who contribute to our vibrant learning community. At Warrington & Vale Royal College, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide accessible, high-quality education that prepares students for success in their chosen fields."
