UK's leading automotive academy attains IIP for 10th year in a row

In addition we continually strive to improve the way the students learn and improve the environment in which they work and this is reflected in the attainment of the IIP standard.”

Dave Pegler the IIP assessor said: “It was a pleasure to spend time at S&B Automotive Academy and to learn about the progress being made. Clearly there is much to be proud of, not just in terms of academic achievement but the range of support being made available to the students at S&BAA.

“It is pleasing to see that it is not in S & B’s nature to sit back on their laurels but to constantly strive to improve further. Since the last review the business has opened impressive new facilities and this is set to continue with the construction currently in hand.

“Everyone who works at the academy is highly focused on developing this as the best automotive learning centre in the country and has worked tremendously hard to make sure the standards required were achieved.”
