What does the North West Regional College need to do to improve further?

In further education, further work is needed to improve the quality of the College’s provision in essential skills, particularly leadership and management, the quality of teaching and learning in a significant minority of lessons, and in the outcomes in the essential skill of ICT.

In work-based learning, there is a need to improve the quality of the provision, particularly:

• to provide more effective leadership and management of the work-based learning provision;
• improve the quality of mechanical and manufacturing engineering which is inadequate;
• expand the range of the provision, and in particular the numbers of learners registered on the ApprenticeshipsNI programme; and
• to improve outcomes and achievements and progression rates to further education and training on the Programme-led Apprenticeship strand of Training for Success programme.
