Ofsted reports should be taken with a pinch of salt. For the most part, the audit process is predominantly 'end based' and doesn't focus enough on the journey for the apprentice or learner. There is some evidence that this is changing but not before time.
It is however, good to know that things are improving, when the first Modern Apprenticeship schemes started around 1998 the RAF probably delivered the worst apprenticeship in the country. Apprentices arrived on squadrons and NCOs didn't have a clue how their training was to be administered and accredited. It was shocking to say the least.
The Eng Tech A/P apprenticeship of old (and its Cosford equivalent) was probably the best training possible for an engineer in the RAF and yet to be beaten. They should never have scrapped it.
