STAFF and learners at a training scheme in Sedgefield are celebrating after receiving a glowing inspection report.
Sedgefield Borough Council Training and Employment Services (SBC) was praised following an inspection by the Adult Learning Inspectorate.
The group, which has training centres in Spennymoor and Chilton, was awarded grade one "outstanding" for its business, administration and law programme, for its approach to leadership and management and for quality improvement.
In addition, a grade two "good" was awarded for its construction and preparation for life and work programmes, for its approach to equality of opportunity and for overall effectiveness.
Norman Vaulks, chief executive of the council, said: "I am absolutely delighted with the results of the Adult Learning Inspectorate, which have confirmed my belief that Sedgefield Borough Council provides an excellent service to both its youth and adult learners."
David Sherlock, chief inspector of adult learning, said the team should be proud.
