Employers....

When it comes to the world of work there are very few jobs that do not require basic literacy or numeracy skills.

We recognise there are those: 

• Who just need to brush up on their spelling, grammar, fractions and decimals.

• Who need to gain confidence in their every day skills.
• Who have limited skills and may be looking towards Apprenticeships and NVQ level.

Our skills for life qualifications can be delivered separately or integrated into NVQ’s, Apprenticeships or your own in-house training programme.

"Apprenticeships can help businesses across all sectors by offering a route to harness fresh new talent. UK businesses consider skills shortages and recruitment difficulties a bigger threat to performance than soaring oil prices and declining consumer spending, and more than a quarter of these rate this form of vocational training higher than any other qualification.
Apprenticeships ensure that your workforce has the practical skills and qualifications your organisation needs now and in the future. The mixture of on and off job learning ensures they learn the skills that work best for your business. Over 130,000 companies offer apprentice places because they understand the benefits that apprentices bring to their business – increased productivity, improved competitiveness and a committed and competent work-force.

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) reflect the skills and knowledge to do a job effectively. Employers accept the value to their business of making a commitment to NVQs, which in turn is a commitment to raising the performance of their employees and customers.


A prerequisite of engaging with employers is that we listen to you!

It ensures we have a clear understanding of your business needs and explores the areas you believe we can add most value.
