Support 
 

It is important for local academies to feel secure in the knowledge that should they have areas of concern however small they can turn to their regional academy for help; this is the case with GRA. Support for academies is by of regular visits, an annual conference, email, Skype, Messenger and phone. In addition the use of technology to undertake virtual meetings, VC and VOIP all add to the closeness and co-operation between consortia members. In addition there is 24/7 access to mobile phone, Skype, MSN and Internet based phone support, with email support and a guaranteed response within one business day

Workshop Group

With a view to extend the level of support GRA has just initiated a working group which will concentrate on developing the expertise if academies undertaking the delivery of the CCNA courses through Edexcel BTEC Nationals.  The aim being to develop suitable assessment strategies that will maximise the student's efforts and permit cross module assessment being possible.  Due to the widespread spread of the academies this workshop will employ WebEx to increase effectiveness and reduce the carbon footprint which would be caused by the workshop being hosted at a specific location.

If you wish to join this workshop please contact GRA at info@gratraining.net .

 Visits

GRA will visit twice a year and undertake a Quality Assurance every two years. During the first year of delivery we will visit three times aiming to provide the greatest guidance possible to ensure your academy is successful.
 
Each local academy can call upon additional support as required in order to meet specific needs and support at events they are planning. 
 

 Conferences

GRA offers a free annual conference to all consortium members.  The aim of these conferences is to address issues specific to the present developments taking place within the academy programme, enhancing networking skills and the sharing of best practice ideas. Due to the spread of the consortium members the last few have been hosted at Bedfont Lakes which is Cisco Systems main office complex in the UK. 
 
Cisco Learning Institute offers a conference every two years within theatre and have been based in Paris, Copenhagen, Valencia, Johannesburg and Istanbul.  GRA aims to keep academies informed and up to date on such developments and aims to help support attendance in a variety of ways.
