Business Development Team
We have an excellent reputation for meeting employer’s needs:
- Over 90% of employers we work with say that the training meets their needs and are satisfied with the service they receive.
- We have been awarded the Training Quality Standard in recognition of our high quality, high impact training and our excellent levels of responsiveness to our clients’ needs. We have been awarded this status because we’re one of the best in what we do.
- We are also widely recognised for our work in Catering, Early Years, Construction, Arts, Media, Sports, Languages, Hair & Beauty and many other sectors.
- We are adaptable – as your needs change, so do our programmes. The latest training solutions that we have developed for the public sector or a delegation of Chinese managers are a good example of how we are developing tomorrow’s skills today.
How we work?
The first thing we do is listen and work out with you what is needed. Our starting point will always be ‘what you need’ rather than ‘what we have’. We then go on to explore the training needs, whether of an individual or a company wide review. Then, and only then, we can start to have a conversation about whether it’s a short sharp burst of specific training you need or whether you’d like to see recognised qualifications spreading across your organisation.
At this point we will present our recommended solution and subject to your approval, start to plan for the delivery. Soon our expert tutors will be working with your people – at your place, in college or even on-line. But we’ll still very much keep in touch with you. We’ll want to review progress and perhaps tweak things a little, making sure you get the very best value for your training budget. So, as many organisations are finding out, working with Bournville College is productive, straightforward and hassle-free.
Our customer focused approach has led the College to specialise in key areas and become an expert in them. This includes Business and Public Services, the region’s fastest growing sectors, in which we serve not only specialised firms but also professionals working in fields such as Management, Leadership, Human Resources, Marketing, Accounting and Business Administration. We are also proud to be the first centre in the UK to be awarded Centre of Vocational Excellence status for working with the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow. Another sector of expertise is Adult Care, where we have an excellent reputation for our ability to supply cost effective training, whether it’s NVQs or one day professional updates.
In the Ofsted Inspection report 2011, it was commented that ‘Good leadership focuses on the college’s inclusive mission and high level of responsiveness to employers and the local community’s needs’.
