We also offer a range of employability courses which are ideal for individuals who are looking for work or considering a career change.

We also provide high-quality online training services to employers, to improve employee skills and improve business performance and profitability. Using cost-effective learning, training is designed to fit around business priorities.
In some parts of the country we also offer apprenticeships in subjects such as business administration, customer service and health and social care. These allow people to gain recognised qualifications as well as practical workplace experience which help them succeed in their chosen career. So far, we’ve helped 1200 people improve their job prospects through starting an apprenticeship.
