The College achieved the Government-led standard after a rigorous process designed to look in detail at the areas that research has indicated are a priority for customers, with particular focus on delivery, timeliness, information, professionalism and staff attitude.

There is also emphasis placed on developing customer insight, understanding the user’s experience and robust measurement of service satisfaction.

“Working towards the standard has enabled us to find out what we do well and to improve where we needed to.
