We believe that investment in training is a guaranteed way to develop and grow your business. Our courses, training and consultancy service can really help you gain improvements in efficiency, staff morale, customer service and, most importantly, turnover.

I haven't got the time or money to release staff for training
The most successful companies know that staff training is a long
term investment, but if time and money are in short supply, we
can help. We specialise in maximising impact with minimal disruption,
offering work-based training, at a time and place to suit you.
We can also access Government funding to help you reduce the cost
of training. Remember, training is an investment not a
cost!
What the Government says:
- One in six employers (16%) in England are experiencing skills gaps in their workforce - equivalent to 1.3 million workers - and of that, nearly eight in ten (79%) say it has had an impact on their business. (LSC's National Employer Skills Survey 2005 ( NESS ))
- Almost one in twenty organisations face recruitment difficulties, with 143,000 jobs remaining unfilled because of a lack of skilled candidates. (LSC's National Employer Skills Survey 2005 ( NESS ))
- It is estimated that skills gaps cost £165,000 for a typical 50 employee business every year. (National Audit Office - Employers' perspectives on improving skills for employment, Dec 2005)
- The UK is one of the largest economies in the world but its prosperity has been constrained by its relatively poor skills base. (Skills in the UK : The Long-Term Challenge, Leitch Interim Report 2005)
