Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors formally review the company's and group's financial performance on a monthly basis, including the preparation of forecasts. The forecasts, including cash flows, cover a period of over 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements and show the company and group continuing to be cash generative. The directors therefore consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the year ended 31st March 2025, the group saw a 7.6% increase in like for like turnover (£23.4m compared to £21.7m during the same period in 2024) and a significant increase in gross margin due to an improvement in learner achievement rates (35% compared to 31% for 2024).”
• “At the beginning of the 2024 financial year, HIT Training Limited (HIT) formed an employee ownership trust for the benefit of its staff, and used some of the organisation's accumulated cash to buy 63% of the company's shares.”
• “In February of 2025 the Government announced that a pass in Functional Skills was no longer required in order that an apprentice could successfully complete their apprenticeship, and whilst we agreed that this is fair, we are happy most of our learners have opted to work on improving their English and maths skills.”
• “This year we have seen growing interest in our teaching and learning apprenticeships, most markedly from other training providers who have historically been restricted to employing training staff who are already fully qualified. Growing your own talent is as valid a model for the learning and education sector as it is for other industries.”
• “Professional Assessment Ltd... has satisfied the Department for Education requisite independence criteria for entry onto the register of end point assessment organisations. Professional Assessment Ltd has Ofqual approval, cementing their position in the assessment market and offering the opportunity for further growth, including designing their own qualifications.”
• “This year we launched our Level 7 Senior Leadership apprenticeship in response to demand from the hospitality sector.”
• “Skills England became operational during 2025, and has been clear about its priority sectors. Whilst hospitality is not a priority, care and manufacturing are, alongside business management.”
• “During 2020, the group launched a triple bottom line approach called People Planet Profit. All elements are measured regularly. The focus on Planet has led to a marked reduction in CO2 emissions from the group's vehicles; we have now removed all company vehicles.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
