THE Middlesbrough-based TTE Technical Training Group has been praised for its training provision for international technicians by the Independent Inspectorate of Schools (ISI).

A detailed three-day inspection of its specialist training facilities for the oil, gas, process, manufacturing and engineering industries, resulted in ISI describing it as excellent.

It also praised the organisation for its pastoral and welfare support to international students – including high-quality accommodation, extracurricular activities and 24 hour access to specialist pastoral advisers.
