Course Recognition / Quality Marks
City & Guilds in Teaching (PTTLS 7303)
GT Trainers have successfully completed and been awarded a City & Guilds teaching qualification called Prepare to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (City & Guilds PTTLS). This has enhanced the teaching quality and standard, and helped formally recognise the professional (teacher) standard of GT trainers.
Course Development
Gravitas Training courses have been closely designed and aligned with The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Diploma, and City & Guilds NVQ in Housing Level 2-4, which all sit within the framework for National Occupational Standards for housing professionals, developed in conjunction with the Learning & Skills Council & Sector Skills for the housing sector.
Gravitas Training is currently working closely with the City & Guilds to gain accreditation and enable Gravitas Training to deliver the newly revised & accredited City & Guilds NVQ's courses in Housing. Accreditation prospects are positive.
Despite the current lack of accreditation GT has been able to successfully deliver courses with excellent student feedback and with genuine & firm employment & learning outcomes following the completion of the courses.
How to Choose a Training Course
GT has a distinct advantage over its closest competitors by focussing exclusively on social housing management & recruitment, and being able to offer well defined, innovative, and highly relevant courses, which have been closely shaped by the social housing sector to meet its current skills and staffing demands.
Many of our direct competitors offer a large range of courses, diluting their housing management expertise, while offering exaggerated and misleading claims about "100% success rates" and "Guaranteed Jobs."
More damningly, many continue to maintaining and offer services, while demonstrating elementary spelling and grammatical errors in marketing materials, poor training delivery methods and course content.
At Gravitas Training we are rapidly developing a reputation for honesty, innovation, substance over style, and a seriousness or 'Gravitas' with the treatment of our subject matter.
This is indicative with the offer of a FREE housing management taster session, which is a unique service, and which many of our direct competitors lack the confidence or the capacity to offer. This has helped GT differentiate and distinguish ourselves from the pack.
But don't take our word for it, try and FREE taster session and make up your own mind. That's the best assurance you can get before committing your time and money on a course.
