Life-long learning and apprenticeships are at the heart of everything we do

Impact Futures is a national training provider, successfully delivering apprenticeships and vocational qualifications since 2008, as well as providing comprehensive, expert apprenticeship recruitment solutions for businesses.

What we do

Online Training

Smart Assessor is an electronic collection of a learner’s skills and knowledge, which is assessed by their Development Coach against a training standard or qualification and replaces paper portfolios.

Perfect for apprentices, work based learners, classroom students and anyone undertaking training, as you can replace paper evidence with videos, photos and voice recordings as evidence of competence and the portfolio is always available, both offline and securely on the web. Assessors and Development Coaches can track learner progress dynamically to achieve timely completions.

The teaching and learning resources are made up of tutorials, videos, good practice examples, presentations, multimedia activities, activity sheets and reading. Everything you need for your course is in one place and you can upload your work to your online portfolio to be marked by your Development Coach.

Your Development Coach will be in contact with you every week and in most cases the contact time with your Development Coach is greater than going to college. It means you have one-to-one learning sessions with your Tutor, rather than having to share your time with a class full of others.

Why choose Impact Futures

Impact Futures are one of three sister companies including The Childcare Company and Herros. We have been delivering employer-led training since 2008, providing businesses and their employees with the skills, knowledge and behaviours they need to excel.

A private limited company located in Slough, we are a national provider delivering apprenticeships and bespoke learning and development programmes in leadership and management, fundraising, customer services, business administration, digital, healthcare and childcare.

We are Ofsted Grade 2 providers, with a current total of c.2,600 learners on programme.

Cutting Edge

Our technological vision is cutting -edge, both within the childcare industry and in the wider online education sector.

We intend to lead childcare training into a new era by incorporating Web 2.0 principles into our virtual learning environment (VLE); in doing so we will equip our learners with the necessary skills to become lifelong, independent learners.

Caring for our planet

We are a green company; we care about making our learner's planet a viable and beautiful place.

We save these amounts per year by virtualising all of our learner and employer processes and contracts. This is only the start. By the end of 2021, we predict that these amounts will double based on our business portfolio continuously increasing.

What Ofsted say about us

"Learners make good progress and attain appropriately high standards. As a result, apprentices and learners develop good employment-related skills that improve their chances of progressing to higher levels of learning or getting jobs."

"Tutors set apprentices and learners clear, long-term targets related to their academic goals. These targets include milestone objectives that build learners’ confidence as they make swift progress in manageable steps."

"96% of apprentices secure sustained employment, often with improved pay or promotion."

"Progression into sustained employment or further training is extremely high."

"Learners demonstrate a good level of subject knowledge and understanding and develop good communication and team working skills that are needed for employment"

"Very good care and support are provided by assessors who set challenging targets that help learners to make good progress."

"Online support enable apprentices to learn in a way that suits their needs, and help employers plan off-the-job training around work commitments"

"Success rates are outstanding."

"Learners enjoy their learning. They recognise the benefit of their apprenticeships and can see clear improvements in their practical skills and knowledge. The ‘Laser’ virtual learning environment is engaging and motivating. It enables learners to identify easily their individual progress and the elements of the qualification they still need to complete"

"Apprentices develop their knowledge and understanding to a good standard because of very good tuition and detailed feedback from assessors."

"Teaching, learning and assessment are good and this is reflected in the very high proportion of apprentices who complete their qualifications within the expected time frame. The vast majority of current learners are making good or better progress and are on track to complete their apprenticeship on or before their expected end date."

"Good online resources, ‘webinars’ and frequent one-to-one teaching sessions with their assessors via Skype enable learners to study in a way that suits their needs and work commitments. This highly flexible approach to learning is valued by line managers who can release employees for training at times that meet their business needs."

"Learners benefit from all assessors having relevant industrial experience."

"Care, guidance and support for learners are very good"

"Assessors in early years plan sessions meticulously to take into account the individual needs of learners."

"Learners receive effective information and guidance and a comprehensive induction so that they are fully prepared for the demands of the apprenticeship."

"Leaders and managers aspire to excellence. There is a strong learner-centred ethos and staff work enthusiastically to raise standards and promote a culture of high achievement for apprentices."
