The winners in the 14 categories will be announced at a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel in London’s Park Lane on 24 February.
Apprenticeships and skills minister Robert Halfon, who will be attending the ceremony, said: “Further education is one of the most important tools we have to give millions of people the education, skills and jobs for the future.
