Awards

 
 
We love hearing how our courses and qualifications make a difference in the lives of education professionals, and therefore also children and young people, all over the world – this is why we do what we do. However, it is also amazing for us to be acknowledged in various established industry awards, as it gives us great confidence that what we offer is valued by acclaimed leaders and experts in the education sector as well.

During the past few years, Real Training has been recognised as a key source of support and development in the area of SEN as well as our work supporting international schools and professionals overseas. We hope to continue this in years to come.

Finalist – Education Exporter of the Year

Awarded in March 2019
