The matrix standard is a framework for organisations to assess and measure their information, advice and guidance services.

Assessors speak to staff and learners to get a true picture of how the company is doing. 

The accreditation report highlighted the Burgess Hill based company’s commitment to quality and noted how the training centres have maintained a high level of apprenticeship training provision during the coronavirus lockdown with remote learning and individual support for the apprentices.

A spokesman said: “Steve Willis Training was independently assessed to ensure that the training provision meets all the rigorous Matrix requirements.

“The process was extremely thorough despite the lockdown, with interviews and other evaluations carried out remotely. 

“They were impressed with the way in which the business invests in resources to continually improve the service on offer, such as the new EPA centre for gas qualification at Burgess Hill. 

“But it is the learners themselves who are at the heart of everything, and so for the Apprenticeships Team.

“The most important part of the report was a comment from an apprentice who simply said: “This apprenticeship has sorted my life out – I can see a path ahead.”
