Manchester training firm celebrates award for excellence

Solvo Vir, a national training and apprenticeships provider based in Sale, Manchester, has achieved an internationally recognised mark of excellence in the education and careers sector.

The matrix Standard is awarded to organisations which provide high quality information, advice and guidance supporting individuals in their choice of career, learning, work and life goals. The accreditation reflects the exceptional service the firm was judged to provide both to the learners on its programmes and to its own staff.

The matrix assessment took the form of a rigorous two-day audit including interviews with staff, funders and learners. Solvo Vir was assessed in four key areas: Leadership and Management, Resource, Service Delivery and Continuous Quality Improvement.

The assessor’s report noted many positive comments from the firm’s learners. The fact that the Solvo Vir staff have industry experience was particularly appreciated, as one learner stated, “Because they know the different routes and which qualification would help me.”

Solvo Vir Managing Director, Carl Smith says:

“The matrix Standard is an industry-recognised quality mark and a fantastic achievement after 10 months of hard work and commitment. We aspire to achieve excellence in all areas and the matrix accreditation is a great way to confirm our high standards for our employees and learners. I am very proud of the team.

“It also comes at a time when companies affected by the Apprenticeship Levy are looking to private training providers who are on the register for provision. The recognition is very fresh and highlights the level of excellence we are operating at right now. It’s the first step on our journey to OFSTED outstanding.”
