98.1% Approval Rating

We are pleased to be able to publish our approval ratings for 2014; these show we received an Overall Approval Rating of 98.1% from all learners who attended training with Beyond the Blue, across the whole portfolio of courses we delivered in 2014.

We consider a score of either 4 or 5 as an 'approval rating'; a score of 3 as 'average'; 2 as 'Poor'; and 1 as ‘Very Poor’:

The following approval ratings were received for the core areas of:

  • ‘Course Content’ – 98.5%
  • ‘Trainers Knowledge & Performance’ – 99.9%
  • ‘Presentation of Information’ – 97.7%
  • ‘Training & Examination Facilities’ – 95.2%
  • ‘Accomplished Learning Objectives’ – 98.3%
  • ‘Course Administration’ – 97.1%
  • ‘Overall Courses Satisfaction’ – 99.7%



100% Satisfaction Achieved

In the core subjects of ‘Course Content’, ‘Trainers Knowledge & Performance’, ‘Presentation of Information’, 'Accomplished learning Objectives’ and ‘Overall Course Satisfaction’ we did not receive a single below average score1 throughout the whole of 2014.

1An average score is considered to be 3 out of 5; where 1 = Very Poor & 5 = Excellent.


Striving for Excellence

Overall only 0.2% of the scores received were below the average score of 3.

We always welcome constructive criticism and while we seek to deliver excellence for every client, we are satisfied that on average only 1 in every 500 of the scores received from people attending our training, suggest we are falling below average. This tiny number of below average scores are also in the areas of ‘training and examination facilities’ and ‘course administration’; both areas where we rely on external companies to provide services.
