Oxfordshire county council first started working with ioda in late 2020. We had previously had 2 cohorts of management training apprenticeship programmes delivered by other providers which were unsatisfactory, so we really needed to get this right 3rd time lucky!
We selected ioda for many reasons but the deciding factor was that they specialised in management training, had a vast amount of experience in this area and tailored programmes to match our services.
We have been really impressed with how consultative they have been from the outset, they have worked in collaboration with us to tailor programmes, specifically our Fire Service where they have put together a Management programme that works seamlessly with their internal development programme so eliminates duplication.
To date we have enrolled 72 candidates on the L3 Team Leader, L5 Operations Departmental Manager and most recently we started our first cohort of L5 Coaching professional
Lisa and her team are always professional, friendly and consistently deliver a quality programme. We regularly have positive feedback from participants about the support they have received from ioda and how much the programme has enabled them in their roles and their professional development.
