Fully Functional
When it comes to English and maths we believe that equal opportunities aren’t given to all qualification types.
We’re looking to the government to give English and maths alternative qualifications parity of esteem with GCSEs.
Case Studies
Hampshire County Council
“While I was not in post when we chose to work with NCFE – more than ten years ago – I’m aware that one of the reasons the decision was made was due to NCFE’s focus on customer service and friendly approach, and they have certainly delivered. They have been a pleasure to work with over the years.
“The organisation is continually improving its service offer, for example with the implementation of the six-day turnaround of results, which was a bonus for us. This fast turnaround has made it a lot easier for us to keep on track, especially during busy exam periods when we would previously have had a sudden influx of 30 or 40 results, so we’ve been particularly pleased about this aspect of working with NCFE.”
Matt Herbert, Quality Support Officer
