ABOUT

The JGA Group was founded in London by Jane Goodwin more than 30 years ago. They provide specialist niche education, training and apprenticeships. JGA’s achievement rates and quality are substantially above the norm and they are the British market leaders in multiple apprenticeship disciplines.
The company holds the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Promoting Opportunity and is delighted to be the 4-time winner of the West London Business Best Education & Training Provider award.

Working in partnership with employers, JGA designs and delivers a range of niche apprenticeships from post-16 to master’s degree level for the public, private and third sectors and works with employers providing training for staff and potential recruits into the TV & film production, crowd management and adult care sectors.

“Apprentices and learners particularly appreciate being taught by experts who help to bring their subjects to life and make them relevant to their own workplace… Apprentices and learners value the high levels of support that they receive… Tutors help apprentices and learners develop their knowledge and confidence to be more effective in their roles. They organise interesting projects for apprentices…”
Ofsted report, October 2019

The range of apprenticeship training has been put together with employers and professional bodies and cluster into three portfolios: Sales, Marketing & Communications, Creative & Content and Business Transformation. These provide opportunities for entry, mid and senior level staff. They are great for professionalisation and diversity initiatives and work for graduates and non-graduates alike.
