The National Training Awards recognises the impact that excellent training, learning and development has on achieving outstanding organisational and individual success and provides a benchmark for standards of excellence in training in the UK.

In today's highly competitive and ever-changing economic climate, training is more important than ever. The creation of a highly skilled workforce increases the performance and productivity and contributes to the UK as a whole, enhancing our reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the global economy - put simply training reaps rewards!

Established in 1987, the National Training Awards (NTAs) are unique because they encompass all sectors, sizes of organisation, training provider and individuals, recognising all types of training from formal qualification programmes to informal learning and coaching.

Previous winners have seen the many benefits to be gained from entering the NTAs such as: the valuable self-evaluation tool which can be used to inform business strategy; a raised profile; improved client relationships and new business gained.

  • 'What an amazing experience the National Training Awards have been for all of us at Queensmill School. As a small employer, our budget is not huge, and sometimes it feels hard to commit so much of it to our training programme. But then we think again, and we know that it is the training that keeps our practice up to date and of an excellent standard. Thanks NTA for making us feel so special and for recognising the value of our training programme and the work we do with our pupils with autism, who deserve the very best'.

Having a visit from the Judges gave us the opportunity to showcase the achievements and passion of our learners. Winning the award felt fantastic!
