Quality and accreditation

Matrix
Matrix is the national quality standard for any organisation that delivers information, advice and/or guidance on learning and work. The standards focus on how the service is delivered and how the service is managed. BCoT was awarded this in 2006.

Investors in People
The Investors in People Standard is a business improvement tool designed to advance an organisations performance through its people. Achieving the standards demonstrates the confidence that there are no fundamental gaps in our people management systems.
