About JGA
Judged in 2025 to have “Outstanding” quality by Ofsted, family-owned JGA Group is a well-established ambitious apprenticeship, training, and career management organisation.
Our purpose is to provide safe and high-quality learning and career management experiences to enable our customers to progress in education, work and life.
We focus on practitioner-led courses (no dusty academics here!) for both household names and smaller specialist organisations. Achievement and satisfaction rates are well above industry norms and we are national market leaders in many of the courses we offer.
Our sectors are:
- Marketing, comms, sales, bid
- Business transformation
- Content & creative
- Crowd management
- Film & TV
- Adult care
A growing part of the business is our work with 16-18 year olds to build their confidence and employability.
History
Founded by Jane Goodwin more than 30 years ago, the company’s original success was the Executive Challenge programme, one of the first employability courses to focus on the needs of unemployed ‘white collar’ workers, who often had higher education.
From these roots the company transitioned into training and apprenticeships and remains as agile as ever – no aspect of our business is the same as it was 10 years ago.
Our success, and the success of our learners has been recognised in many ways over the years, most prestigiously the 2021 Queen’s Award for Enterprise and most recently the 2025 West London Education & Training Provider of the Year award (our fourth time). Systems thinking apprentice Nirosha Dissanayake from the Public Health Team of Kent County Council won the 2025 award for Apprentice of the Year. Her apprenticeship has enabled her to save lives.
“Tutors and coaches have substantial subject knowledge and experience. They use this expertly to teach and support learners and apprentices. They make learning interesting, interactive and highly relevant… As a result, learners and apprentices secure and recall their knowledge accurately and with fluency.” Ofsted 2025
