JGA Group

Who we are

The JGA Group is a well-established independent training provider, founded by Jane Goodwin in 1991 and now run by her son, Richard.

Our vision is to empower our customers to move forward and to develop futures.

With a 30-year history of vocational training, we have a good reputation, and in early 2022 we believe that we have market leading positions in several apprenticeship standards.

Our existing clients include national and local voluntary sector organisations: National Emergencies Trust, Save The Children, Wellcome Trust, Movember, St Michael’s Hospice, Barking & Dagenham Youth Zone and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

In March 2022, 99% of apprentices said coaching was Excellent or Good and 98% said the same about tuition. In the government’s official measure of employer satisfaction 87% report an “excellent” or “good” experience.

In 2021, we received The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of our outstanding achievements in Promoting Opportunity through social mobility. JGA was specifically recognised for “creating supportive environments for diverse learners to progress and succeed.” Our focus on inclusivity and diversity was also recognised in November 2020 as we won BAME Apprenticeship Awards Learning Provider of the Year.
