"NCE have added real value to the apprenticeship through their unique understanding of school’s requirements. The employees have been overwhelmed by the opportunities they have been given."
“It’s rare that you find a course, which is not only engaging, but incredibly practical. It’s made me really consider the why behind my actions, and how I implement change as a leader.”
"I also am thinking about the next steps in my career, and this training will afford me more scope going forward in educational leadership and management roles."
