Working with us

We’re passionate about meeting the needs of employers, placing learning at the heart of their talent attraction and retention strategy. Whether you’re looking to upskill your workforce, need support delivering your curriculum or struggling to embed internal learning, we create solutions tailored to your goals.

Our coaches and trainers are highly skilled and well qualified in what they do. Above all, we care about each and every one of our learners and want to see them fulfil their potential, progress and meet their individual career development goals.

Our approach

  • Discovery: Your business faces unique talent challenges so getting to know you is important. We work with you to develop a tailored plan and programme that will deliver the results you expect.
  • Programme design: Businesses with complex skills challenges need tailored solutions. We collaborate with you to create a learning programme that meets the needs of your business and your people.
  • Funding: We help you maximise your training budget by making the best use of the Apprenticeship Levy before it expires (24 months) and accessing other funding streams.
  • Onboarding: We do all the heavy lifting to enrol and onboard your new or current staff members on an apprenticeship or short vocational course.
  • Learner support and engagement: We strive to deliver engaging and compelling programmes to every learner. All learners are allocated a trainer to support them throughout their programme of learning. Our Learning Management Systems enable us to report on every aspect of learning progress putting employers at the heart of the programme management. We also have dedicated internal quality ensure consistent, high-quality training is delivered.
  • Bespoke delivery: Whether you need to outsource training delivery entirely or are looking to complement your internal capability, we have the skills and expertise to support you.
