Warrington and Vale Royal College – Innovating Access to HE provision with Ascentis
We currently run the Allied Health Professions and Nursing & Midwifery diplomas, and from 26/27 we are adding diplomas in Criminal Justice and Psychology. Working in partnership with Ascentis has been, and continues to be, a positive experience for our centre.
The team at Ascentis demonstrates a clear understanding of the needs of both educators and learners, providing guidance that is practical, timely, and aligned with current industry standards. Their qualification offer is well-structured, enabling us to deliver high-quality programmes with confidence and clarity.
Communication is consistently responsive and constructive, whether through routine updates, quality assurance processes, or direct support when needed. External quality assurance visits are thorough yet collaborative, adding real value to our continuous improvement efforts rather than feeling purely compliance-driven.
Importantly, Ascentis shows a genuine commitment to maintaining high standards while remaining adaptable to the evolving education landscape. This balance has enabled us to innovate in our delivery while remaining fully compliant.
Overall, our partnership has strengthened the quality of provision we offer and enhanced outcomes for our learners. We would confidently recommend Ascentis to other centres seeking a reliable, forward-thinking organisation to work with.
