A training firm which rents space at the university academy co-founded by Manchester United's Class of 92 stars has been slammed as "inadequate" following an inspection. Code Nation Limited is an independent firm based in Chester but rents a classroom, meeting room and two car park spaces at the University Academy 92 (UA92) campus in Stretford.
UA92 was launched by Lancaster University and ex-United players Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt. Code Nation, which deliver their own courses independently of UA92, provides training for people in the digital sector and has had a contract to deliver apprenticeships since October 2018.
The first group of apprentices started their course in January 2019. Training is carried out via a virtual learning environment supplemented by face-to-face skills coaching meetings. At the time of the Ofsted inspection from March 28 to 31, there were 79 apprentices on the programme.
