Effective coaching links directly to enhanced business performance. SBA works with both new and more experienced managers to help them achieve optimum performance and results.
Expert trainers can deliver externally accredited awards and bespoke training and development programmes to meet current and anticipated needs and enhance teacher quality and learner satisfaction.
Do you want to expand your existing offer but are unsure how to go about it? We provide specialist advice to review the options and plan implementation. Whether it’s setting up a teacher training or examinations centre; introducing other languages or short, professional qualifications, one of our experienced associates will be on hand to guide you through the process.
We can give you an honest and objective assessment of your organisation’s strengths and highlight areas for development.
SBA has experienced inspectors that are able to audit your organisation and give you invaluable feedback to help you prepare for either a first inspection or a re-inspection. If required, we can also provide support developing policies and completing documentation.
These are extremely useful – particularly for very large organisations – to facilitate the planning of appropriate programmes for teachers with similar professional profiles. By taking a snapshot of the teaching, we can identify the high performers who could be developed as in-house trainers as well as those that would benefit from a “refresher” to make them more effective classroom practitioners.
Steve Brent, CEO of SBAssociates, is delighted to announce that the project with the Language Centre at the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences (NAUSS) in Riyadh has been extended for a second year. Following on from the extensive Quality Review and Recommendations undertaken in the first year, the focus in the second year is to continue to develop the curricula, complete the teacher recruitment process, implement the new processes and systems covering the whole student journey and gain accreditation from a globally recognised accreditation body.
“MTS started working with Steve 4 years ago when he was CEO of IH London. This partnership resulted in growing the largest IELTS Centre in Europe within 2 years. Our success was built on the hard work of our respective teams, finding creative solutions to potential problems, effective leadership and mutual trust. We are delighted to be able to continue working with Steve through SBA.”
SB Associates has been instrumental in helping IH London secure a number of high value contracts in the UK and overseas. We were impressed by the in – depth knowledge of the China market and the ability to develop strong, mutually beneficial partnerships.
“We wanted to set up a Cambridge approved teacher training centre but we did not know how to go about it. Steve talked us through the options, guided us through the process and arranged the initial training we needed. All the people we dealt with were very knowledgeable, easy to deal with and culturally aware.”
