Training firm is a roaring success

Blue Lion Training Academy is celebrating after being rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted inspectors.

The Pride Park-based firm was visited by the teaching standards body last month and has since published its report, which shows the business is delivering high standards to its learners.

Blue Lion trains apprentices ranging in age from 19 to 60 years old on behalf of companies.

It offers a range of courses, including project management, digital marketing, PR and communications.

The report stated: “They manage the provision with great care. They rightly made the strategic decision to offer only courses in the niche sectors in which they are confident of delivering outstanding provision.

“As a result, employers, apprentices, and staff hold the company in exceptionally high regard. The positive feedback received from stakeholders supports this well.”

Harj Dhanjal, founder of Blue Lion, said: “Big congratulations to the team. Continuous improvement from our initial Ofsted visit to our full inspection last month has confirmed we are doing what we said we would – walking the talk by achieving.”
