What our partners and learners say

“Pearson TQ has been a key partner in embedding the Army Apprenticeship across all trades within the RLC, ensuring that the personal development of the soldier meets the needs of the organisation and is clearly seen as an invaluable promotion and retention tool.”

Olga Bottomley, Army Apprenticeships Quality Mentor, Royal Logistics Corps

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Pearson TQ on our Future Leaders programme. The PTQ team have been focused on the needs of BT as the customer and on the needs of our learners. There's been much to learn on our journey, and we’ve addressed issues as they’ve arisen both positively and collaboratively and we’ve made improvements in content, process and communications in real-time."

Debbie Copping - Leadership Development Manager, BT Group

“I was fast-tracked into an Acting Manager role due to the fact I was on the Future Leaders programme, which shows it does open doors for you that may not have opened otherwise. The main benefit is that I’ve gained a lot of confidence and a lot of knowledge and insight on management. The assessors have been brilliant and my Skills Coach from Pearson TQ has been there whenever I’ve needed him… He’s been tremendous; helping me with anything and getting back quickly with advice."

Neale Richard, Engineer, BT - Level 3 Team Leader/Supervisor Apprenticeship Standard

They have developed a curriculum which is specific to the employers’ needs and well aligned to employers’ leadership and management development strategies."
