Triple success for Protocol 2006 was certainly a successful year for us!   We were Re-accredited and achieved the Investors in Excellence Award.     We became a Midlands Excellence Prize winner and described as a dynamic small business.     We achieved Grade 1’s and declared an outstanding work based learning provider by the Adult Learning Inspectors in November 2006.     The Investors in Excellence Award and  Midlands  Excellence Prize were  awarded at the 10th Anniversary Awards ceremony at the ICC on 30 October 2006 by Pete Waterman. As it was also our 10th Anniversary Protocol invited 12 customers and stakeholders to join the team of 8 staff at this prestigious event attended by 1350 guests from other top performing organisations in the Midlands. This was followed by an intense inspection by ALI and three inspectors who interviewed staff, learners and employers to check the quality of provision offered by the Company. The conclusion was that Protocol is an outstanding work based learning provider and the full report can be accessed at www.ali.gov.uk
