Zenos is an outstanding company "In the space of a few short years we've grown from a small training company with 25 learners to become the UK's leading provider of IT Support training, part of the UK's leading vocational training plc and the largest Microsoft Training Academy in Europe." With headquarters in Aynho near Banbury, and a network of Zenos Academies that cover the country, Zenos currently trains in excess of 2,000 people a year and employs around 350. Zenos IT Training Academies - A Unique Resource A national network of Zenos Training Academies deliver training programmes, funded by the LSC, to young people wanting to take their first steps in a career in the IT industry, and we then help them secure that vital first position. Exceptional Rates of Success Zenos students achieve a pass rate of around 80% for our IT Systems Support & Services, and IT Software Development programmes; (the national average is just over 40%) and the quality of our training, management and infrastructure are recognised by the growing number of industry awards and accreditations that we continue to receive. An Outstanding IT Training Provider In the summer of 2008 Zenos was inspected by Ofsted - the Government's Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills who inspect education and training for learners of all ages. Ofsted carries out hundreds of inspections and regulatory visits each week, and their report on us concluded that in every key area of inspection Zenos was judged to be "Outstanding."
