Ellie Finch Counselling Consultancy And Training

ellie finch counselling consultancy and training

London

We are an accredited, private education provider that operates international colleges, English language centres across the UK, Europe, North America and an online learning platform to create life-enhancing experiences for students worldwide. Founded in 1991, we have been delivering international education students for 31 years. Today, our courses help over 50,000 UK and international students achieve academic success every year. Students can join us for every stage of their academic journey. Our Group is home to five University Partnerships across the UK and Europe, and six English Language schools across Canada, USA and the UK. Our History Oxford International Education Group was founded in 1991 as ISIS Education and Travel by David Brown and Robert Darell. The company started operating outbound tours for UK University students through the academic year from September to June. During the summer, we established summer English languages courses for international students. To gain financing to grow the business, the Founders turned to the Prince’s Trust, one of the UK’s most successful youth charities. The Trust offered David and Robert a £5,000 loan and two mentors to help see the business through the next stage of its lifecycle. Oxford International has grown to be one of the top 10 businesses sponsored by the Trust and remains closely associated with it today. The education opportunities we can offer students from around the world have grown in diversity and size since then, enabling us to support over 500,000 students since 1991. A Brief Timeline of the last 29 years In 1993, we established our first UK adult English language school with the acquisition of Greenwich School of English. In 1999, we opened the Brighton School of English, offering General English courses. Oxford International added Bucksmore Education to our family to provide high-quality summer courses to individual students in 2003. Growing our presence in the UK’s academic centre, in 2010, we were delighted to acquire Oxford Sixth Form College in the centre of Oxford next to Oriel College. In 2013, Oxford International went international for the first time, acquiring our Vancouver and Toronto English language schools. The same year, Oxford International was very proud to sign a Pathways partnership agreement with De Montfort University to open and run the Leicester International Pathway College (renamed to De Montfort University International College) in the heart of the great De Montfort campus. Our first students arrived in June 2014. In 2014, we were proud to invite Bowmark Capital on board as a minority investor in Oxford International. Bowmark are very experienced investors in the education and travel sector, with their support, we were able to pursue our ambitious strategy for growth in the UK and overseas. Also in 2014, we added San Diego to our centres in North America. Back in the UK, d’Overbroeck’s School was welcomed to the Group, and we acquired Homelingua, now known as Bucksmore Home Tuition. In 2016 Bangor University International College welcomed its first cohort of international students. Since then, we have continued to grow our University Partnerships division with two partners in the UK and one in Germany. In 2017, International College Dundee began teaching integrated Bachelors and Masters courses. The University of Greenwich International College followed in 2018, becoming our first embedded college in London. In 2020, we launched Jacobs University International College, our first embedded college in Europe, the first of its kind in Germany. In 2021, Oxford International strengthened its position as a premier university partnerships, digital education, and language provider through a management buyout backed by THI Investments and the sale of its schools division to Nord Anglia Education. Oxford International’s launch of the OI Digital Institute and European partnership with Jacobs University in 2020 has further developed the international education sector online and in Europe. Courses offered in the OI Digital Institute have supported over 5,000 students in achieving UK university admissions and delivered unrivalled partner services for higher education institutions. The university partnerships division has launched a new UK pathways collaboration with the University of Bradford, while its first partnership with De Montfort University has been nominated in the PIEoneer awards for public/private partnership. The English Language division, which opened its latest language school in New York, North America, continues to enrich its academic offering by equipping students with language skills necessary for the modern-day learner. We believe we’re just getting started and the best is yet to come. At the core of Oxford International remains an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion to deliver the very best experiences for our students.

DLP India Edutech Private Limited

dlp india edutech private limited

It all started in January 2011 with the noble thought of making high-quality and world-class education accessible to students, regardless of their geographical location and background. We are here talking about DLP India- one of the leading and well-known educational service provider of the country. It attracts students in large numbers from all over the world- the ones who are interested in pursuing distance education courses or skill development courses. In order to give a meaning to his thoughts and turn his ideas into a reality, Perminder Singh Malik came up with a creative idea of launching DLP India. The idea was to offer a range of distance learning and skill development courses to students interested in pursuing online education by affiliating itself with highly reputed and well-known universities- both in India as well as abroad. DLP India offers a wide variety of courses, ranging from certificate courses to doctorate degrees, in distance learning mode via its 2 very famous portals- distancelearning.edu.in and rapidskillz.com. They offer courses in almost every field of education like Banking, Management, Human Resource, Finance, Design, Marketing, Media, Medical, Life Skills, Soft Skills, Writing, Project Management and a lot more. What has made the services offered by DLP India popular is their accessibility through distance mode. While its services are majorly focused on Information and Career Counseling, they help professionals acquire skills for growth and sustainace. The students can easily compare between various universities and courses options available on this platform and make a choice depending on their budget. Furthermore, there is a provision of after sales services as well to make it easier for students to study online and operate University LMS and Portal. Having revolutionized the concept of distance education and online learning in the education sector of India, DLP India has successfully got itself listed on innovationprofiles of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) due to its innovative profile in the field of education. Also, it has been a dynamic and active member of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) since last 6 years. Experienced Educationist and Dynamic Entrepreneur Based out of Delhi, Perminder Singh Malik could give wings to his dreams, primarily, due to his strong understanding of consumer behavior in the digital space of education and skill development. His extraordinary vision, hard-working nature and commitment to work have made it possible for him to earn the reputation of both a successful entrepreneur as well as an educationist. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, he has been awarded several reputed industry certifications like iCEO certification and Green Belt Six Sigma Certification. He has also been shortlisted as one of the top 30 entrepreneurs (out of 500 entrepreneurs) for ‘Accelerating Entrepreneurs Program 2015’ hosted by Ernst & Young. “It has certainly not been an easy journey coming this far. To be able to offer top-notch services in the field of education requires a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication,” quotes Mr. Singh confidently. Ramneet Kaur, Co-Founder DLP India stated, “What helps us distinguish from others in the market is our collaboration with top-ranked universities in the world including Marconi International University, Amity University, UPES Dehradun, UNICAF University, ICFAI University and MIT School of Distance Education. We are unique because we are not a single university offering distance learning courses but a network of universities offering students abundant options to pursue the course of their own choice and that too, from the university they wish to.” DLP’s Expanding Footprints Besides offering various academic and non-academic learning courses, there is a lot more to the work of DLP India. Having marked a niche in the education industry of India, DLP India has further diversified itself into offering various other services complementing the education domain. These include the services for Digital Marketing, Content Writing, Lead Generation, E-learning, Language Translation, HRD/MEA Attestation, Accreditation services, PR and Media, Sales Strategy Consulting, Web, CRM Development and various other IT related Services. With unique and customized solutions that it offers to all its clients, DLP India is a name to be reckoned with success and growth in the sector of e-service providers. The company’s list of prestigious clients includes SOS Children’s Villages of India (Austrian NGO), Emagister (Spanish Company), CEARS (Greek Institute) and many more. It also supports various educational institutes to get accredited from respective councils in USA like ACICS, ACCSC, DEAC etc. A list of its prominent Indian affiliate partners includes shine.com, headhonchos.com, youth4work.com and more. International Business Operations DLP India is not a well-known name only in the domestic market but has also earned itself the reputation of a leader in the field of education in a global market by virtue of its international business operations. The company’s partners and clients are spread across the globe in different continents and regions. Finally, it requires an indomitable will-power and sheer determination to redefine the traditional educational market of the country and come this far. Perminder Singh and his team have indeed managed it amazingly well.

Learning Improvement Service

learning improvement service

Bromley Common

Who and what is the Learning Improvement Service? The Learning Improvement Service was set up by Phil Hatton (read about Phil here), an ex-Ofsted HMI and National Adviser. Through his extensive experience in leading inspections, surveys, good practice, advisory work and improvement consultancy, Phil has a unique and wide understanding of best practice in the Further Education sector, particularly in colleges and in work-based learning. He is utilising his knowledge to help colleges and other providers of training improve the learning experience they give to their learners. The LIS only wants to work with those who have a real will to improve their provision, by establishing where you are now and where you would like to be in the future. We do not intend to just help to ‘patch you up’ to get you through an inspection, but to help you make sustainable improvements. We use only the best people, who know what they are doing, because they have done it themselves. Below is a brief summary of the main ways that we can support you (however, please contact us if you require something else not listed below): Consultancy support to improve key aspects of your provision - consultancy support to cover key aspects of quality improvement systems such as self-assessment reporting, position statements, improvement planning, observation of teaching, learning and assessment, sharing of good practice, course reviews and evaluation, the user voice and being prepared for short or full Ofsted Inspections. Phil can also help you to improve English and maths and ensure that your safeguarding is exemplary. Providing a ‘critical friend’ service to check and validate self-assessment, observations of teaching and other key quality processes such as course reviews – confirmation that you are moving in the right direction – we’ll work with you to confirm you are doing the right things in the right way, responding specifically to your needs, keeping you on target to improve your provision. This is one of the key areas of our work particularly from September through to February. Phil will also provide you with support by email or phone if needed prior to and during inspections. Safeguarding, Prevent and British Values Reviews – Phil has developed real expertise in what the best practice of the sector is and can work with you over two days to check out every aspect and leave you with a position statement of where you are and what you can do to be outstanding. Phil can also provide bespoke training and materials to raise awareness of staff, governors and learners Apprenticeships and subcontracting – Phil knows all there is to know about these two areas and has helped transform some of the biggest college and worst performing providers in terms of their success rates. The ideal scenario is a five day visit to check and sample how you do things, suggest improvements and provide you with the resources needed, finishing with a half-day staff development that is bespoke to your improvement needs. Please contact Phil as long in advance as possible to get time allocated for this Internal inspection or review of areas requiring improvement - a tried and tested way to improve an area is to first gain an informed view of exactly where that area is in terms of strengths and weaknesses, using an expert with extensive inspection experience. Unlike an Ofsted inspection, all feedback to staff and managers observed in an area is given constructively to help improve practice for the benefit of learners (while also giving you robust evidence for your OTLA system, SAR and QIP). An internal review could be for an area of learning or for a cross-college aspect such as safeguarding, equality and diversity, or course reviews. All consultants undertaking this work are personally known to Phil Hatton as to their ability to do so. The LIS will only conduct such work when they have the right person to do it (often Phil himself). You will receive a report that focusses on ways of improving the area reviewed, based on the best practice of the sector that is proven to work (not just telling you what has been seen, which is the usual practice of most consultancy companies). Helping individual institutions in the sector achieve good or outstanding teaching, learning and assessment through establishing robust observation of teaching, learning and assessment (OTLA) systems – depending on where your system is we can its validate current robustness by conducting observations (joint ones are best value as they train your staff) and scrutinising the gradings and paperwork historically awarded. If more work is required, we’ll equip you with the tools (training, paperwork and systems) to establish an OTLA system that delivers accurate and well recorded findings by your observers. Your observation system will help keep a focus on promoting improvement, identifying and promoting the sharing and adaptation of good practice by teachers (a reoccurring weakness in Ofsted inspections in the past year). We will provide you with the training, paperwork and systems to move your staff forward, encouraging their collaboration in the development and sharing of resources, so your staff will deliver learning in true teams. We will support you with either graded or ungraded systems. An approach of conducting joint ‘learning walkthroughs’ of 20 to 25 minutes duration is providing many institutions with an overview of their provision and enables the judgements of college observers to be tested out for their accuracy and breadth. Sharing exemplary practice and systems in self-assessment with you, leading to quality improvement planning that moves you forward – we’ll support you in developing your capacity to self-assess all of your work honestly and robustly so that your staff ‘own’ the resultant self-assessment reports and improvement plans, understanding their part in moving you forward. Few are really good at self-assessment, we can make sure that you are and that self-assessment moves you forward. Several colleges and providers have received very positive feedback about their SARs in 2016 following support and the use of LIS templates, particularly the use of a two page Executive Summary SAR that helps focus improvement actions. If you have a 50 page SAR it will not be an effective improvement tool. Helping you to produce position statements – if you think you are likely to be inspected it is important to be able to say where you are ‘now’ as self-assessment looks back on the past year - we’ll support you in writing effective position statements for key areas that tell you and others exactly where you are for that area. They are a great way to demonstrate to inspectors that you know your provision and have helped a number of LIS clients move from a grade 4 inadequate to a grade 2 good. Phil has also helped a number of colleges achieve grade 1s for their leadership and management. An exemplar position statement can be seen here but is not as good as what you will finish up with (samples can be shared)!! Conducting a confidential ‘health check’ of your organisation by one or more of the top and most experienced recent HMIs (and previously lead inspectors with the FEFC, TSC and ALI) – if it is sometime since your last inspection or there have been significant changes in management or what you offer, a ‘health check’ could be invaluable. We’ll examine your leadership, management, performance and quality improvement against and beyond the requirements of the September 2015 Common Inspection Framework in a way that can only be achieved by being carried out by the right people. Depending on institutional size and complexity, this totally confidential and focused ‘health check’ will ensure you know your provision inside out and have no surprises should you be inspected. It will help you to decide and prioritise how to move your provision on.

Credit control training 'menu' (In-House)

By The In House Training Company

This is not a single course but a set of menu options from which you can 'pick and mix' to create a draft programme yourself, as a discussion document which we can then fine-tune with you. For a day's training course, simply consider your objectives, select six hours' worth of modules and let us do the fine-tuning so that you get the best possible training result. Consider your objectives carefully for maximum benefit from the course. Is the training for new or experienced credit control staff? Are there specific issues to be addressed within your particular sector (eg, housing, education, utilities, etc)? Do your staff need to know more about the legal issues? Or would a practical demonstration of effective telephone tactics be more useful to them?
