Governance

Michael has been with CRC since 2012, as a games course student, lecturer and is now the course lead for Level 3 Games Development. Whilst very proud to lead on the course he once studied, Michael also feels that this has given him clear perspective of college experience from numerous roles over the past decade. It was his student experience that aided his progression and proves that providing innovative ideas can make significant differences to college life. During this time, Michael was nominated for a BAFTA for his role within the games industry. 

Before joining CRC as a Trainer/Assessor within the Work-Based Learning Health & Social Care Team Beryl trained as a Chartered Physiotherapist and spent 20 years working in the NHS across East Anglia. This included 13 years at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. She moved into private health care as the manager of BUPA Cambridge Lea Hospital’s Physiotherapy and Outpatients Departments in 1999 where she undertook an MSc in Health Sciences, leading to a role at the University of East Anglia in 2005 as a Physiotherapy Lecturer on both the MSc and BSc curriculum and organising clinical placements for physiotherapy and occupational therapy cohorts. Prior to joining CRC in January 2021 she was Head of Older People’s Services for CHS Group, a local registered social landlord, managing their Residential, Sheltered and Domiciliary Care services across Cambridgeshire.

Initially, Yvette trained as a Childcare Practitioner, worked in schools, and nurseries where she later became a deputy manager and shortly afterwards a manager.  She later went to work in Local Authority Inspection (prior to Ofsted). 
Yvette has several qualifications in the childcare and teaching sectors, many of these have been gained while she was working, this enables her to understand many of the learners that she has trained currently and in the past. 
Before joining CRC as an online assessor for the Distance Learning Team, Yvette spent many years working in colleges as a lecturer, assessor and Lead Internal Quality Assurer in both curriculum areas and work-based learning.  In her current role, Yvette supports adult learners with their qualifications, she also supports newer staff members and the maintenance of quality with the courses she is involved with.
Yvette maintains her commitment to the Early Years by being the chairperson of a local nursery in the area where she lives and supports the manager, staff, and childcare students within the setting.  This also enables her to maintain “hands-on” practice in the sector.  She also updates her knowledge through training, conferences, and webinars.
