Another exceptional year has come to a close, and our Achievement Awards 2026 provided the perfect opportunity to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our learners, apprentices, employers, mentors, partners, and staff.
This has been one of the most successful years in our history. We celebrated a record number of learners achieving Distinctions, an overall achievement rate of 72%, and a fantastic Ofsted inspection in May—clear evidence of the dedication, ambition, and excellence that define our organisation.
Despite the sweltering heat in West London, the atmosphere was full of energy, pride, and inspiration as we recognised individuals and organisations who have gone above and beyond to achieve outstanding results and create brighter futures.
Our award winners included:
- Employer of the Year
- Apprentice of the Year
- Mentor of the Year
- Skills Bootcamp Learner of the Year
- Adult Skills Learner of the Year
We also celebrated the exceptional commitment of our own team:
- Trainer of the Year – Aneta
- Manager of the Year – Hassie
- IQA of the Year – Stacey
- Lifetime Achievement Award – Chris, in recognition of years of outstanding service, leadership, and dedication.
These awards represent far more than individual success. They celebrate determination, resilience, teamwork, innovation, and the life-changing impact of education and skills. Every learner who gained a qualification, every apprentice who progressed in their career, every employer who invested in talent, every mentor who inspired others, and every member of staff who supported that journey have played a part in making this year truly remarkable.
We are incredibly proud of everything our learners, employers, and colleagues have achieved. Together, we are raising aspirations, creating employment opportunities, developing skilled workforces, and helping people build brighter futures. Year after year, we continue to reach new heights, and this year’s achievements demonstrate what is possible when people work together with passion, purpose, and ambition.
Congratulations to every nominee and every winner. Your success inspires others, strengthens our communities, and reminds us why we do what we do.
Here’s to an even brighter future, even greater achievements, and another year of changing lives through skills, education, and opportunity. Well done, everyone! 🎉🏆
