Business Training was formed in 1974 to provide training in Business English for those seeking to improve their job prospects. The vision was to create home study courses that provided vocational training that was practical and would benefit students in their working life. Since that time we have expanded our range of subjects and become a leading provider of home study courses. As part of a group of distance learning colleges, including The Writers Bureau and STT, we have successfully trained hundreds of thousands of students worldwide. We use our substantial knowledge and experience in this field to offer high quality courses and tuition. The skills we teach have delivered life-changing results for many of our students. We are constantly creating new courses under the expert guidance of our Director of Studies – Diana Nadin – and her team of professional writers and tutors. We are also committed to maintaining and improving the quality of our existing courses. This is to ensure that the most up-to-date information is available to you. Our aim is: To help you acquire effective training in the subject of your choice. To provide an overall training and tuition service which offers you excellent value for money. To have a satisfied body of students who will continue to spread our good name and reputation. Our commitment to our students, the use of new technologies and our expertise in distance learning allow us to offer effective, convenient training that is also excellent value for money. Business Training is also a member of The European Association of Distance Learning. The association’s objectives include the promotion of professional and ethical standards in distance education and the protection of students’ interests.

Axcis is the leading supplier of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) staff in England and Wales. We recruit special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) staff for mainstream schools and alternative provisions across England and Wales and offer recruitment solutions for short-term, long-term and permanent vacancies. Working with the broadest range of positions, our candidates include teachers, teaching assistants, therapists and school leaders. Established in 2001, our head office is in London’s West End. We have since grown in-line with increasing demand from schools for the quality, specialist service we are able to provide. We have offices across the UK and continue to expand as more schools hear about us and express a desire to make use of our unique service. Many of our experienced team of consultants are ex-teachers or members of school support staff, so have on-the-ground knowledge of the sector. As a result, we are able to provide a recruitment package which reflects this in-depth understanding of what schools are looking for in the staff they recruit. We have always taken our responsibility to the sector seriously, and this is reflected in our professional partnerships with organisations such nasen (the National Association of Special Educational Needs). Axcis is not “just another agency” and we pride ourselves on offering a unique service which is backed up by a serious commitment to the SEND sector. During our time in partnership with these organisations, we have helped to fund numerous training and support initiatives which have helped to spread awareness and good practice. This goes a long way in demonstrating our commitment to the sector and our desire to give something back. Our client relationships are of paramount importance to us and we pride ourselves on working closely to build long-term partnerships. This is reflected in the positive feedback we receive from schools about our consultants and the service they provide, as well as feedback on the candidates we place. Our compliance process is extremely rigorous. Each applicant must undergo a full series of checks which conform to DfE requirements. Files are then re-checked as part of our quality assurance process before they are cleared to begin working in one of our client schools. We also offer an enviable professional development package, which is open to all Axcis candidates or client school staff. This includes a variety of courses over the academic year, including Team Teach, Non-Verbal Communication, Safeguarding in Education Level 2, Moving and Handling, Autism Awareness and Managing Challenging Behaviour.

Smart Assessor is an electronic collection of a learner’s skills and knowledge, which is assessed by their Development Coach against a training standard or qualification and replaces paper portfolios. Perfect for apprentices, work based learners, classroom students and anyone undertaking training, as you can replace paper evidence with videos, photos and voice recordings as evidence of competence and the portfolio is always available, both offline and securely on the web. Assessors and Development Coaches can track learner progress dynamically to achieve timely completions. The teaching and learning resources are made up of tutorials, videos, good practice examples, presentations, multimedia activities, activity sheets and reading. Everything you need for your course is in one place and you can upload your work to your online portfolio to be marked by your Development Coach. Your Development Coach will be in contact with you every week and in most cases the contact time with your Development Coach is greater than going to college. It means you have one-to-one learning sessions with your Tutor, rather than having to share your time with a class full of others. Why choose The Childcare Company The Childcare Company is a sister company of Impact Futures. We have extensive experience in running independent day schools and nurseries, and the company Directors opened one of the very first free schools in 2011. The writers of our learning resources frequently write for trade press on education issues and have also advised Government on specific issues. Course content incorporates the EYFS and is updated as necessary in line with any changes. The Childcare Company works closely with large nursery chains, private training providers, local authorities and government funding bodies all over the country.

Some wise heads If you want to develop yourself, your organisation or your community, you are in the right place. We help people to reach their true potential (e.g. better lives & better leaders); help organisations – through the prism of diversity - to be more effective with better outcomes; and to help communities by advancing and sharing good practice in international development. We have been fortunate to have colleagues who have worked in great organisations that have taught us how to analyse, review and advise others. It is these tools we continue to build on to help others. The power of diversity and travel - We have been very lucky to have travelled extensively in Europe, Asia, USA, Africa and the Caribbean / Latin America. It has given us the opportunity to see the universality of human desire to advance themselves; and that exploring new ideas can change your perspective and beliefs. Our Vision - to help individuals, organisations and communities to advance themselves, even if it means questioning the strong beliefs, we all hold. We will continue to challenge our beliefs and the beliefs of others so long as they hold us back from making progress as a global human family. Our Mission - to help millions of people worldwide, to lift themselves out of their ‘humdrum’ of daily life, to achieve their dreams that were often beaten out of them by ‘life’ experiences and ‘negative people’. Our values - Hard Work; Integrity; Gratitude; Family; Hope & Dignity; Love; and Fun. Hope - I believe in the power of hope. Everyone deserves the opportunity to work towards achieving their dreams. “Without hope, there is no future, just survival!”

Our outstanding GCSE results from summer 2019 have now put us in the top 4% of schools nationally. This means that we are working towards our goal of the students who come to Yate Academy having a better chance of success than if they went anywhere else. These results come from hard work and a focus on really high expectations of staff and students because we know that this is what they deserve. Our students are incredible and deserve amazing teachers, quality lessons and the right levels of support, as well as great opportunities that enrich their experience at school. Our 'Pathway' allows students to develop their character as well as their academic journey through school. We give students the opportunity to take part in enrichment activities such as music and sport; they have a number of trips, including a Year 7 camp; they perform in musical productions; they are ambassadors for events; they take part in poetry competitions; they listen to inspirational speakers at Ivy League Lectures.

I am a mindfulness and yoga teacher with over 15 years’ experience working in facilitation, personal development, training design and delivery, coaching and wellbeing. I teach yoga, mindfulness and stress management techniques to help people thrive, especially when life is complex and demanding. My passion is helping people live happy and fulfilling lives, do what they love, and make a difference in the world. We all face challenges in a fast-paced world. I work to create moments of stillness and connection that allow you space to breathe and just be. From this place you are free to think clearly and get your life working in the way you want. Whether working with individuals, groups or corporate clients, compassion is at the heart of what I do. I believe that self-care can be a radical act that transforms our relationship to the world and our place within it, through nurture, rest and deep healing. I know that profound change can happen kindly, through thoughtful enquiry and values-based action. My work is grounded in the integrity of many years of personal practice, study and experience. This in turn supports the values-driven foundation for my work in social and educational inclusion, with a particular focus on equality and inclusion in higher education. I also have experience in facilitating learning across a wide range of settings including schools, universities and workplaces. Picture My current interests are positive psychology; mindfulness based approaches; stress and resilience; creativity; nature connection; and the power of play. I have trained as a mindfulness teacher with the Centre for Mindfulness Research at Bangor University and the Oxford Mindfulness Centre at the University of Oxford, and follow the UK Mindfulness Network Good Practice Guidelines.
