New partner We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI). We are currently working with them on the development of a portfolio which will be launching in April 2011. The Institute is the Sector Skills Council for the automotive retail industry and the governing body for the Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA) scheme and is looking to increase its provision of high quality professional development courses to its members and the broader industry. The IMI will initially offer 12 courses tailored to the motor industry including Decision Making for Managers, Project Management and Thinking Strategically. Focus on ... end of course questionnaires With the end of the year comes the collection of data from the end of course questionnaires, and the results from the 2010 questionnaires are again very positive. 91% of people who completed our courses thought that they were 'Good' or 'Excellent'. 92% of people rated our content 'Good' or 'Excellent' and further to this 96% of users said that the courses met their CPD objectives. If you have opted to include evaluation questionnaires in your courses then you will have received your questionnaire analysis but dont forget you can also access analysis yourself through Imago. For more information on this contact us. If you would like to start using evaluation questionnaires within your courses please contact Rachel Bruce.
