Ofsted
Details
The Department for Education (DfE), with ministerial support, commissioned Ofsted to carry out a thematic survey of wave 2 Skills Bootcamps before it rolls out wave 3. The purpose of the survey was to discover if Skills Bootcamps are providing a high-quality learning experience.
This report is based on evidence gathered from visits to 14 of the 36 providers. The survey followed Ofsteds education inspection framework (EIF) and inspection methodology and focused on the Skills Bootcamp provision as a whole across all sampled providers.
Skills Bootcamps are based on a model of accelerated skills training that is often used in the digital industry. They are specifically designed to meet employers skills needs by enabling employees and self-employed and unemployed adults to learn new skills.
