Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year, we were proud to win the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) First Class E-learning Provider Award for the second consecutive year and become the first online provider to receive the City & Guilds Assured Benchmark, validating our commitment to excellence.”
- “In 2023, the group was recognised as a certified B Corporation, achieving an initial impact score significantly higher than the qualification standard. The directors remain committed to the values of the B Corp movement and to ensuring the business is a force for good.”
