Flexible Training

Distance Learning

Employees learn at work, through work and with the help of our workplace assessors. All our assessors are professionals, well-qualified and with direct business experience. Employees gain their qualification by preparing a portfolio of work-based evidence, which demonstrates competence in their chosen area. A personal tutor offers guidance and support and carries out assessments on your premises. Employees work at their own pace but courses must be completed within the time-frame specified. Some courses may require occasional attendance at college for induction and tutorials. The majority of programmes start at anytime during the year.

Self Study

We offer 12 to 14 week, self study programmes, designed for people already working in business and/or care environments, that are accredited by a range of Awarding Bodies including NCFE. Employees will have regular contact with an experienced tutor either in person, by telephone or by e-mail. Successful completion of activity based assignments and/or a multiple-choice exam leads to a nationally recognised certificate.

College Based

We offer a wide range of daytime and evening classroom-based courses, ideal for the development of knowledge and allowing the opportunity for employees to discuss and share ideas with others. Assessment methods vary from externally marked examinations to work-based assignments.

Day Release

This combines on-the-job training at work with off-the-job training in the classroom. Weekly attendance at college enables employees to develop their knowledge and then apply new skills to the workplace.
