Training

Our years of training and employing people with lived experience of issues around offending, homelessness, gang involvement, substance misuse and other similar issues means we are ideally placed to provide you with expertise, consultancy and training.

Providers who are working with non-traditional learners and/or people who have experienced barriers in accessing training and employment can really benefit from our peer-led approach which uses people who share similar backgrounds to them.

We are a City & Guilds Assessment Centre with skilled and highly-experienced Trainer-Assessors and robust quality assurance practices. We can deliver training to staff, volunteers, and people in local communities,

We can also develop a package of tailored courses and workshops in partnership with organisations to meet specific local needs, such as developing Community Champions and Leaders.

Subsidies may be available for not-for-profit organisations.

Please contact us if you are interested in commissioning any of our courses or if you would like to find out more.
