The prestigious awards ceremony gala dinner was held at the ICC in Birmingham, where over 500 guests eagerly anticipated the results.
The AAC Awards, now in its third year, recognise outstanding apprenticeship delivery and provision across the sector nationwide, and are run by FE Week and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers.

The College were also finalists for Business and Administration Apprenticeship Provider of the Year and the overall Apprenticeship Provider of the Year awards.
More than 350 entries were submitted by both public and private providers, employers and colleges for the 2020 edition of the AAC Awards, with 44 organisations and individuals making the cut in 22 categories.
This recognition is part of the College’s long history of apprenticeship success, with consistent above national average apprenticeship achievement rates, an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted grade for apprenticeship provision, and multiple regional awards.

“I am very proud that the College’s outstanding apprenticeship team has been recognised by such a prestigious award. We look forward to continuing to provide an exceptional apprenticeship provision in all areas. Congratulations to all involved; our apprentices, tutors and assessors, employers and apprenticeship team - it’s certainly well deserved’
