The Ofsted Call

To be considered for inclusion in our team please email TheTrainingTeam@excellence-in-learning.co.uk

Excellence in Learning is a leading, independent, supplier of one day good practice workshops and staff development programmes to UK business and the public sector, with special emphasis on the education sector and latterly an increasing presence within finance, strategy and management development courses.

Our workshops and CPD programmes are built around the simple principles of providing high quality, practical and pragmatic solutions that enable FE Colleges, Learning Providers, Academies and Schools, together with the related infrastructure organisations, improve quality, efficiency and performance.

To meet the ever increasing growth in demand for our products and services we are normally have openings for:

1. Experienced Ofsted Inspectors/additional Inspectors, especially those who are exemplary trainers and keep themselves informed on the very latest changes and development in inspection practice. In addition to general updating on latest requirements we also have interest in areas such as:

• Nominee Training
• Observation of Teaching Training and Assessment
• Evidencing Student Progression
• Self Assessment
• Succeeding at Inspection
• Data and Success Rate Calculations

2. Freelance consultants, trainers and presenters who can help expand the range of courses and topics we offer. We are especially interested in one day workshops that will help our clients improve their quality, efficiency and performance, or provide them with information on the latest initiatives within education in a concise and easy accessed manner. Topics such as

• Safeguarding
• The Strategic Landscape
• Governance and/or Training for Governors
• It’s all about work – aligning vocational training to employment needs
• Improving Success Rates in Functional Skills – English and Mathematics
• Health and Safety in a de-regulated environment
• Subcontractor Management
• Quality Assurance
• Special Needs Students
• “Study Programmes”
• “Traineeships”

It is probably that most training will be sector specific, Academies, Schools, Further Education etc., but generic training courses that cross all sectors have great appeal.

Our client base includes some of the best performing educational providers and we do not envisage significant demand for soft skills training such as motivation, assertiveness, leadership (except within the mainstream Commercial and Public Sector) or generic aspects of good teaching. Although advanced training on specific aspects of teaching practice may be of interest.

Experts and Specialists who:

• Can explain complex initiatives in a clear and concise way
• Understand the challenges that our clients face
• Provide high quality, practical, pragmatic and effective guidance on implementation
• Develop and deliver one day good practice workshops on the same

A passion to help others together with exemplary facilitation and presentation skills is of course essential.
