Overview
With Ofsted well underway with their plans to inspect every further education institution by summer 2025, there has never been a more important time to understand how Ofsted looks at things, its latest thinking, and where its concerns lie.

Paul Workman, Managing Director at Riverside Training said:
“I knew it was going to improve our delivery, but I didn’t recognise the extent to which using systems that weren’t fit for purpose were impacting our operations. I never imagined the kind of ROI that we have realised.”
