We have received excellent onsite training courses, including First Aid and Manual Handling. These were all easy to book, and very well organized. Communication with NPTC is always excellent, all staff are always happy to assist, and take a real interest in our training requirements.
We would like to send a big ‘thank you’ to the whole team, and especially Robert Harris in Business Development, for your time and commitment to training.
Looking forward to working with you in the future.”
This testimonial highlights the college’s responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine interest in supporting the sector’s evolving needs. Whether it’s sourcing specialist trainers or delivering essential onsite courses, NPTC Group consistently goes the extra mile.
Lady Tracey Woodward, Registered Care Manager (Newtown) at Affinity Homecare, emphasized the importance of collaboration and the role NPTC Group plays in promoting a positive team culture:
“We actively promote and maintain professional working relationships with colleagues by communicating effectively, demonstrating respect for one another’s roles, and working collaboratively to achieve shared goals. This approach fosters a positive and supportive team environment, which is essential in delivering safe and effective care within the health and social care sector and is what I promote to all carer within our sector.
Part of our collaborative culture is our ongoing partnership NPTC Group of Colleges. We welcome the opportunity to engage with students and have attended college sessions where we have been able to speak with students to share our experiences of working in health and social care. This provides an opportunity to promote the sector, offer insight into professional practice, and encourage the next generation of practitioners.
Many of our carers undertake their QCF apprenticeships through the NPTC Group of Colleges, and we are proud of the excellent working relationship we’ve built with the team. This partnership ensures our employees receive both theoretical knowledge and practical guidance.
To support continuity and high standards, we share any new information relating to training, guidance, or sector updates, with our employees and our contacts at NPTC Group of Colleges. This ensures our employees are well-informed, confident in their role, and able to contribute effectively to the team and the quality of care provided. Additionally, by keeping the College informed, we help ensure that the curriculum remains aligned with current industry standards and that our apprentices are well-prepared to meet the demands of the sector.”
This reflects the deep integration between education and practice, where NPTC Group not only trains, but also listens, adapts, and evolves alongside its partners. By engaging with students and employers, the college bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world care, ensuring that future practitioners are well-equipped and confident.
