Exciting news regarding training courses for staff that I am certain will be of interest to you.

 

We have access to a range of Level 2 fully funded courses that offer huge advantages to your organisation – they are cost-effective, help you support talented employees who want to learn and progress, and they are an effective way to support your skills requirements.

We want to support you in focusing on the retraining or up-skilling of your staff, which will provide them with motivation, job satisfaction and bring new skills to your organisation.

 

The courses can be delivered online and therefore do not require staff to be off-site whilst studying them.

They are fully accredited by NCFE and successful completers will be awarded a formal qualification.

There is a range of courses to choose from including business admin, data protection, a variety of digital marketing workshops and a host of health and social care courses to name a few.

 

View our full list of free courses here.

 

 

All of these courses are funded and therefore there is no cost to you as a business (eligibility criteria apply).

They are an excellent way of providing valuable professional development to staff and in doing so, strengthening your business.

 

In addition to this offer, we also have fully funded apprenticeships which you may be eligible to apply for. This is not to bring in new staff. Rather it is designed to allow current employees to take their learning even further. Some other providers ask employers to contribute to the costs of apprenticeships. We do not (eligibility criteria and areas apply).
