Who are we?

If you’re interested in learning more about us, Protocol Consultancy Services was established as a Training Provider in 1996 with two staff members. In 2021, we now have ten staff members and a team of part-time consultants.

We are an approved Work-Based Training Provider for the Education and Skills Funding Agency. PCS is part of the Protocol Group of Companies and is a trading name of Transworld Publications Services Ltd.

My role involves assessing several courses that we offer at Protocol, leading the IQA team, and I am also involved in the data monitoring linked with our KPI’s.

As Business Development Manager I oversee the department, coordinate with potential employers, and ensure the business and its brand continues to grow.

I’ve worked at PCS for 17 years, gaining a wealth of knowledge in conducting internal quality assurance, as well as assessing and tutoring several subjects we offer.

I have worked for Protocol for 4 years and within that time I have covered a wide variety of job roles such as IT Support, Admin, Exam Secretary, and Tutor Support.

With 26 years of experience working in education, I am responsible for traineeships, apprenticeships, and short courses, as well as gaining new business for Protocol.

At Protocol, I provide crucial work preparation training for young people through our traineeship programme, as well as teaching and assessing on customer service.
