Technical skills training courses

We can help you easily set up engineering and manufacturing apprenticeships and work-centred training and skills programmes.

Our service is available nationally and through our Apprentice and Skills Training Centre in Tyseley, and the programmes can lead to a range of qualifications.

We can also tailor bespoke programmes to suit the needs of your business or help you set up a programme to support learners and your business. Our dedicated advisers and programme-delivery managers will guide you through each step and simplify the entire process.

We are nationally recognised for the excellence of our work – accredited by national awarding bodies such as City & Guilds, CIEH and EAL. Additionally we work closely with SEMTA – the Sector Skills Council for the engineering and manufacturing sector.

Our main delivery centre in Tyseley, Birmingham offers exceptional workshop facilities having recently benefited from significant investment in the latest equipment. But we work around the country too, partnering with local educational centres.

We can also deliver high-quality, bespoke training on your premises, using your own equipment so that it’s a precise fit. We can deliver it to suit your methods of working too - including evenings, night shifts and weekend working.
