Ofsted
2 Graded

Release Potential is a training organisation that is partly funded by the Department for Education and we are Ofsted 2 graded. We are responsive and flexible which allows us to work with our partners in different ways.
Our courses cater for those seeking employment. We offer Starships, which are a new type of course designed specifically to help younger people who have little or no previous work experience get into work. Our other pre-employment project is the Returneeship. This aims to help more mature clientele boost their employability skills and prepare for a return to work.
We provide training across England, using a range of accessible premises in order to bring the learning opportunities closer to you the learner.
Ofsted
inspection
Our first Ofsted inspection in November 2013 led us to an overall Grade 2 standard which described us as a ‘good’ training provider. There was a lot of positive feedback from this process which allowed us to continue our good work whilst also encouraging innovation and new ideas. Some of the stand out comments from the report were;

“Tutors know their learners well and develop good working relationships with them quickly. As a result, learners have positive attitudes to learning and their self confidence increases.
Learners are supported well to develop the high level of attendance required to be successful in employment.”
In 2015 we received our second Ofsted inspection, one lead inspector and four additional inspectors carried out the inspection with short notice over a period of four days. We had set a benchmark for ourselves in 2013 that we needed to match if not improve upon working towards becoming an outstanding provider. After this visit we received another overall Grade 2 rating with some very positive feedback which encourages us to carry on our good work and work towards that outstanding grade.

“Productive use is made of trainers’ and assessors’ expertise and knowledge to extend learners’ knowledge and skills through mostly good teaching and learning.
Leadership and management are good. The directors have a clearly defined strategy and ambitious vision for supporting all learners and developing the organisation and its training programmes.”
Release Potential had our third Ofsted inspection in February 2022, over the course of a four day period, with one lead and three additional inspectors carrying out the inspection. This was also the first time that our Returneeship and Hybrid Learning have been examined. Release Potential received an overall Good grade, which contained our first ‘Outstanding’ grade for Personal Development. Along with this grade, we received some really positive feedback which we will use to help us work towards our target of being an Outstanding Provider.

“They are passionate about transforming the lives of unemployed adults and do so successfully. As a result, high numbers of learners progress to employment.
Learners benefit from learning in an environment that is positive, inclusive and respectful.”
