Awards

Awards

As a Centre of Excellence, these are just some of the awards Selby College has achieved.

  • 2009: Customer Service Excellence

    Customer Service Excellence is the Government standard for driving customer-focused practice within organisations.

    It was developed to ensure that the customer remains at the heart of public service provision and recognises good practice in firms that continually strive to improve the quality of the services they offer and where staff are able to acquire new skills to improve the delivery of that service.

  • The Best Companies Award

    Selby College has been recognised for the second year running as one of the United Kingdom’s Best Companies in the UK to work for in the annual Best Companies (2010) Awards.

    Best Company 2009

    The Best Companies Award is given to organisations, via a confidential survey, and asks how good the company is to work for. Key aspects of the survey included the college’s leadership, management performance, team working and how fairly it treated employees.
    Every organisation that enters Best Companies Accreditation is given a Best Companies Index (BCI) score. This score (on a scale of 1 to 1,000) is defined from employee’s responses to the 54 questions with the Best Companies employee survey. Selby College first achieved the one star First Class organisation to work for status in the 2009 Awards.

    Selby College was the first and only College in Yorkshire to achieve the award in 2009 and still remains one of the only FE Colleges to hold the award in the United Kingdom, in 2010.
