Last week, Pearson TQ was invited to a graduation ceremony held for our first cohort of Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager apprentices from UK Power Networks (UKPN). The learners have worked exceptionally hard for the past 2.5 years to achieve their qualifications, many alongside very busy roles in senior management. 

Pearson TQ is delighted and very honoured to announce that we have been shortlisted at this year’s Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Partner Awards for the Outstanding Training Provider of the Year 2022 Award.

All new 'Main Providers' on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP), are subject to an Ofsted Monitoring Visit. Pearson TQ (PTQ) is one of just a handful of providers to have been judged to be making ‘Significant Progress’ across all three inspected themes.

We were informed by Smart Apprentices, our partner who deliver our e-portfolio platform Smart Assessor, that we were able to nominate learners who we felt had showed exceptional resilience over the last twelve months, navigating their apprenticeship alongside other challenges brought on by the pandemic. Over 70 learners were nominated from Smart Apprentices customers, all worthy and humbling stories of how apprentices have shown real resilience in the face of how extraordinary adversity.

We are proud and delighted to announce that Pearson TQ (PTQ) has retained the contract to deliver Apprenticeship Standards to the Royal Logistic Corps. The new contract will run from 1 August 2021 to 31 July 2025 for circa 1,350 new apprentices per year at a contract value of circa £14m.

Congratulations from everyone at Pearson TQ to Royal Engineers apprentice, Abubakar Siddique, winner of the South East Regional Apprentice of the Year 2020 and nominee for this year's BAME Apprenticeship Awards.
