Qube Learning
6. "The team and I at Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT) who work closely with Qube have been
impressed from our very first meeting and continue to feel their support has been paramount to our
delivery of the apprenticeship framework within our Trust. The materials supplied are of high quality.
They have a sound understanding of our community staff and their working practice (which differs
from acute provision) and resolution of their concerns. The support Qube have given has been
exemplary. Their flexibility and communication skills used to introduce HCT to the provision available
from QUBE, whilst understanding the difficulties in arranging training within a large community
Trust with extensive geographical boundaries have continued to impress us."
Christina McEneny, Apprenticeship & Overseas RGN Project Coordinator Herts Community
NHS Trust
Testimonials
7. "We have been working with Qube as a preferred national provider for 6 years now and they have
really stepped up to the challenge of meeting our ongoing training requirements and working jointly
to develop learning material to suit all levels and age group of learners. They have been very flexible,
in particular to our 16-18 apprenticeship programme and together we have enabled young people to
develop into crucial members of our team. The professionalism, communication, cost effectiveness of
the QCF programmes and manner in which Qube strives to accommodate our training needs is
beyond the options other training providers have offered Avery Health Care. Qube gives me
confidence and security that only comes with their one-stop approach to satisfying and delivering
against our company needs."

A Traineeship programme will provide high quality work experience
over a set period, with a weekly visit from one of our tutors to work on
employability and English and Maths Training. This will give the Trainee
full support, allowing them to learn the vital skills needed for the
workplace. As part of the programme employers are expected to
provide a valuable work experience placement and a guaranteed
interview or exit interview with the individual.
Traineeships
13. Todd Burnet (Manager) – Electro Wind
“It has certainly been interesting to see how Qube Learning and Dawn Greenwood (Tutor) were
dedicated to this scheme, ensuring our needs, as well as that of her candidate we not just met but
exceeded. Dawn ensured Mr Bailey (Trainee) was receiving the training and support he required to
not only gain passes in assorted subjects but also improve his confidence within himself. With
Dawn’s extensive knowledge and experience, she guided us through the benefits and requirements of
the Traineeship and Apprenticeship schemes to ensure that Qube delivered on their promises. Dawn
has been friendly and approachable, dedicated and professional, and it is our hope that we (and
successive candidates) will benefit from her talents in the near future. Mr Bailey has completed his
Traineeship and has now advanced onto an Apprenticeship”.
