Dan Scott, managing director of PHX Training, said: “Staff at Kendal have already successfully completed this qualification, and we want to roll this out across the organisation. As a training company, we want to invest in our own people and enable them to develop their own skills and capabilities.
“There are benefits to personal development and greater understanding of importance of equality and diversity and in regard to learner interaction.”
One of the key contracts operated by PHX is the government’s Learndirect programme which helps to give unemployed people the skills they need to find jobs. PHX has a record of a 90 per cent success rate for people enrolling on the programme.
