Why us
We achieved outstanding results during an Ofsted (the body which inspects the provision of all government funded training) inspection in February 2008. We were awarded Grade 1 which is the highest possible grade across all areas: Leadership & Management, including equality of opportunity; Quality of Provision; and Overall Effectiveness.
We achieved excellent Adult Learning Inspectorate (the body which inspected the provision of all post-16 government funded training up till 2006) results in March 2005. We were awarded Grade 1 for Leadership & Management, Quality and all the subject areas we provide and Grade 2 for Equality of Opportunity; putting us in the top 1% of work based learning providers in the UK.
- We were awarded Beacon status for our achievements on the work based learning apprenticeship programme.
- We have had great success at the Employers Engineering Federation (EEF) Apprentice of the Year Awards for the South West England Region over the last few years:

We can advise you on the best type of apprenticeship for your business sector, as well as the level at which it should be offered – Apprenticeship, an Advanced Apprenticeship, or one of the newer schemes such as Train to Gain.
Applications for apprenticeship training should go directly to the employing companies, as FCT has no direct responsibility for recruitment. However, we do offer advice and support for the recruitment and apprenticeship framework requirements as outlined by the sector skills councils
