highlighted Northcoders' commitment to inclusion and its track record in
enabling learners to transition into digital careers quickly and successfully.

 

Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, commented: "We are incredibly proud to have
received the highest possible recognition from OFSTED. This Outstanding rating
is a clear validation of the quality we strive to deliver, from curriculum
design to course execution, and the life-changing impact our programmes have
for learners from all walks of life.

 

"This result significantly strengthens our position in the competitive
tendering landscape, particularly with government and regional funding bodies
which we are currently navigating. It enhances our credibility, bolsters our
bid-winning capability, and positions us as a leading provider of high-quality
digital skills training at a time when confidence and rigour in provider
selection has never been more critical."
