Think hard before working there

Pros

The staff are welcoming and work hard to do their best. Everyone is in the same sinking boat, so you don't feel selectively picked on. NOVA have a lot of training centres - some will be better than others. This review is based on one centre.

Cons

The behaviour of the learners, who come from challenging backgrounds, prevents any sensible teaching taking place. Learners are allowed to get away with causing disruption and can just refuse to do anything. Management support learners over supporting staff. The business trades on being 'an outstanding provider' - this would not be a rating, from my experiences, that could in any way be applied now. Staff turnover is extraordinarily high - if you do work there, ask other staff how long they have lasted and ask the learners what stability of staff they have had.

Awful place to work.

Pros

Hours. Close to home. Can purchase Holiday. Bank holidays off.

Cons

Management are bullies. Owners are wimps and ignore internal issues. HR do not do their job properly as they are bias. Management in the WBL sector is tragic. Learners are numbers, not people to staff. No true progression - only when they need more staff or are making people redundant to cover their backs. Do not take complaints serious. Unprofessional. They make staff put positive reviews on here. Study programme needs more help as learners can be difficult and the admin staff are expected to help when it is not their duty and they do not have the training, it is unfair for them.
