A vision shaped by our non-negotiables

None of this would be possible without our three non-negotiables. They make us who we are, guiding our actions, decisions, and relationships so we can help learners transform their dreams into reality.

  • We believe in the power of collaboration and recognise that collective efforts lead to greater success. We foster an inclusive and supportive environment where teamwork, mutual respect and cooperation thrive. By valuing each team member's diverse perspectives and contributions, we achieve outstanding results together.

  • We understand that learning is a lifelong journey and encourage a growth mindset among our staff and stakeholders. We actively seek out new knowledge, insights, and innovative approaches to continually improve our services and stay at the forefront of the industry. By nurturing a culture of continuous learning, we empower our team members to reach their full potential.

  • We believe in treating others with respect, empathy and professionalism. Whether it's communicating with our customers, partners, or colleagues, we strive to create a positive and welcoming atmosphere. We listen attentively, respond promptly, and address concerns with empathy and understanding. By fostering a culture of courtesy, we build strong relationships based on trust and collaboration.

TQUK is proud to be part of the AQA Group
