Business training for employers

We also deliver apprenticeships and specialised training to staff in local businesses. Our professional training courses are accredited by national awarding organisations including AAT, City and Guilds, NCFE and the British Computing Society. We may be able to access government funding streams that could support the training and development of your employees and ultimately improve your business. Our business engagement team will work closely with you to deliver a tailored training programme that meets your business needs and those of your employees.

Our aim is to be the first choice for professional, workforce training for businesses across North Yorkshire. To find out more, please contact your local area office.

Reduced fees also apply to some learners over 65 for health and leisure courses. Please contact your local office to find out if you're eligible.
