Victoria Tibbott

Quality Director

Victoria joined Progression Training in 2004 as an Administrator, shortly after completing her studies. She then spent time travelling and volunteering in schools across South East Asia – an experience that broadened her outlook and inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to supporting children and young people. Over the next decade, she gained extensive experience in the Health and Social Care sector, working in a wide range of childcare settings including Early Years, Education, and Residential services.

Her career began in a residential setting as a Support Worker, working directly with children aged 11–18 with behavioural, emotional, and learning difficulties. She went on to progress into managerial roles, where she took on responsibility for staff supervision, quality management, service delivery, and maintaining professional standards. During this time, she achieved her A1 Assessor Award and began working as a Work-Based Assessor, combining her practical expertise with the ability to support and assess others in their professional development.

Victoria re-joined Progression Training in 2012 as an Assessor, further strengthening her knowledge of vocational training and assessment. After a short career break in 2013 to spend time with her twin boys, she returned to the organisation as a Quality Auditor. Today, as Quality Director, she is responsible for Centre Management, Staff Management, Quality Management, and Internal Quality Assurance, ensuring that Progression Training upholds the highest standards of delivery, compliance, and learner support across all programmes.

Alongside her leadership role, Victoria has also contributed to the sector on a national level. In 2020, she co-authored a City & Guilds textbook to support learners undertaking Health and Social Care qualifications in Wales, reflecting both her subject expertise and her commitment to raising standards in education and training.
