It’s Our Anniversay!

2012 sees the 10th anniversay celebration of CTC. Some of our customers have been with us since the start and have seen a number of changes over the years.

To mark this anniversary we have commissioned a graphic designer to give us a brand new look.

We have changed our company colours from dark red to purple and blue. We also have a new logo and as you can see our website has been totally revamped and is looking great.

We are now moving with the times and have a Facebook and Twitter page so why not follow us on these to keep up to date with the latest news and offers?

Just to keep right up to date with the latest technology we now have a QR code. A QRcode (quick reference code) is a box you can scan using a mobile device like an iphone. Scanning the box will take you directly to the website. The QR code will appear on our brochures and other paperwork so all you need to do to get the latest information or training programme, is to scan the qr code with your phone.

The SVQ e-portfolio system has many benefits for Learners/Candidates. Learners study when they want, where they want. There are no bulky paper-based portfolios to manage or store. The e-portfolio is based online, accessible via an internet browser. The system is intuitive to use with minimal training required. Learners can track their own progress at all times, having instant access to course materials and resources. Learners can easily upload evidence into their e-portfolio and communicate with their Assessor. The Learners can also interact in a moderated way with others on their course.
