John Stuart
HR Manager
Mackays Stores
Working in partnership with ibp academy over the past
few years has had a considerable impact on the delivery of training
to our key commercial
personnel.
We have established some very business orientated programmes
and, with measurable results. We have not only benefited from bottom
line growth identified from initial diagnostic work but have
received considerable
external accolades regarding the success of the training’s delivery.
Our
continuing relationship has meant a real change in the business
in its view of training and development. When management state,
in relation to training, “whatever they have had I want more
people to get it”,
you know you are delivering the commercial success the business
is looking for, as well as having the satisfaction of seeing
individuals looking for
more, and taking real ownership of their own training needs with
an overriding focus on making a real impact on their part of
the business.
ibp academy have been an integral part of making this
all happen and their commercial focus has been paramount to
the success of our programmes.

I have worked with ibp academy’s innovative products,
services and support over a number of years. They clearly increase the
survival
and
viability of Britain’s businesses, concentrating on creativity
and results. This has been achieved through helping business
owners develop
the skills, knowledge and capability to run their businesses
effectively. Their provision encourages creativity and developing
entrepreneurial skills
needed for business.
I have had the assurance that the content
and outcomes of their programmes have been underpinned
and informed by national
occupational
standards.
Their approach links assessment and appraisal to the real
world, providing powerful opportunities for feedback as
well as a
means to recognise learner
achievement.
Their programmes for business support and
advice take advantage of a variety of innovative learning strategies
and offer
opportunities to
develop experience based capability as well as knowledge
and skills. My experience is that they raise the standard
and professionalism of
business
support, help improve the long-term success of businesses
and
develop professional business support and the highest
of quality.
Gary McEwan
Manager
Business Gateway High Growth Team
I have worked closely with ibp
academy over a number of years. In that time, I have been struck
by their drive, innovation
and ability to
help people, (clients and participants), achieve results,
sometimes in challenging situations.
ibp academy is a
leader in a number of fields, as shown by their pedigree. Without
them, the upskilling of all
Scottish business advice, through the Premier Adviser
initiative, would probably have proved a challenge
too far.
Managing over 800 people through a programme
of that nature, over the whole of lowland Scotland, was no
mean feat.
They have also worked with clients large
and small, with one common theme - results!
I have seen the value
of businesses and people grow considerably and for that they are
to be applauded.
Susan Laing
Director
Centre for Entrerpreneurship, Napier University
The Centre for Entrepreneurship
at Napier University have been working with ibp academy for a number
of
years. In that time we have found them
to be extremely innovative and creative in their approach
and
proactive to the needs of the marketplace. We have
developed a number of ‘first
to the market’ programmes which develop participants
to achieve results for themselves and their organisations
from junior management through to
executive development.
Working with the the ibp academy
is both inspiring and challenging which makes for
an effective and productive
partnership.
ibp academy bring a creativity and solutions
approach to the academic learning environment which partnered
with the academic rigour of
the university processes produces a range of appropriate
qualificifations.
External recognition of the outputs
of the ibp academy approach can be seen in the winning of training
and
business awards
over the last seven
years.
