What Ofsted say about RBS:
- Apprentices enjoy an inclusive learning environment. They value the time spent during residential stays where they can focus and immerse themselves in their studies.
- Coaches work well with apprentices to develop their motivation and positive attitudes. As a result, apprentices attend well, study diligently and value their learning, feeling empowered by the new knowledge, skills and behaviours they develop.
- Apprentices develop a good understanding of ethical practice in accounting. Leaders and employers foster positive relations and do not tolerate discrimination and bullying.
- Many apprentices gain promotion during their apprenticeship and are given increased responsibility such as mentoring other more junior colleagues.
