Landex’s primary functions are to secure continuous improvement in all its members through peer review, support and CPD; and to promote the interests of members and their various client groups through dialogue with government departments, funding agencies, sector skills councils, quality improvement agencies and professional bodies.
The recently published Ofsted ‘outstanding providers’ list identifies nine Landex members in the further education sector that were judged to offer outstanding provision, and ‘confidence in college management’ has been expressed in every one of the seventeen Landex colleges that have received either a QAA ‘Institutional Audit’ (Higher Education Institutions) or an ‘Integrated Quality and Enhancement Review’ (Further Education Colleges with Higher Education provision) of the quality of learning and for the standards of awards that they offer on behalf of awarding bodies.
