SMB College Group has been accredited to the Matrix Standard, demonstrating high-quality training to their students!

The Matrix Standard, owned by the Department of Education and managed by The Growth Company on their behalf, is the international quality standard for organisations that deliver information, advice, and/or guidance (IAG), either as their sole purpose or as part of their service offering.

Roger Chapman, Head of the Matrix Service for The Growth Company said: “This is a fantastic achievement for SMB College Group, and I would like to congratulate the team on their success.

“We believe that at the heart of high-quality advice and support services are strong leadership, excellent service, and a focus on continuous improvement, all underpinned by effective use of the resources available. The Matrix Standard is designed to benchmark organisations against best practices in these areas. With their accreditation success, the SMB College Group is working to provide the best possible support to their students.”

Commenting on the award, Deputy Principal, Andrew Gedge, said: “In our first full academic year operating outside of pandemic lockdowns as a merged college, I am absolutely delighted that we have been recognised for our high-quality advice and guidance.

“We have reorganised our services to ensure a consistently high-quality student experience is received at all sites and this is a massive credit to the Team Leaders and managers to have progressed our services to students so rapidly and successfully.”
