Lecturer – Coleg Gwent

“At Coleg Gwent, we love the flexibility this qualification provides. We can adapt the units delivered to the needs of each unique cohort whilst remaining confident learners are gaining the skills required to be successful in the sector.

Following the introduction of the YMCA Level 2 Diploma in Exercise and Fitness Instructing, we’ve found learners are more enthusiastic to progress, either seeking employment within the sector or enrolling on to level 3 qualifications at the college. In fact, every learner who has left after this qualification has secured a job as a result of the knowledge and skills developed through this qualification.”

We are proud to have YMCA Awards as the Awarding body for our qualifications. The support from the External Verifiers and customer service team is brilliant!

Whenever you call the team, they don’t rush you, they always take the time to clarify and support, even if we make mistakes.

I’ve always had a great experience with YMCA Awards, someone always comes back to me whenever I have a query. 

Everything works well, even when I call up with a query the team are always helpful. Robust and good work ethic, no grumbles. The team are very knowledgeable and if they don’t know the answer straight away, they make it quite clear. They take it away and come back to you. It’s really nice and very rare. It’s one of the reasons why I stick with them. They’re very patient with me.

“We have worked with YMCA Awards now for almost 20 years and we could not be happier with the level of service and support that we have received during this period. YMCA Awards have always been innovators and forward-thinking in-terms of the qualifications that they develop, ensuring that their product range keeps pace with what the industry needs. That said, it is their focus on matters of quality assurance and continuous improvement that for us, makes them clear winners in the sector. Why would we go anywhere else?”
