All of our training is delivered based on an Individual Training Plan, this tailors the learning experience to maximise the benefit for every individual student. Our projects are often based in real businesses such as:

  • cafes
  • a garden centre
  • a gift shop.

This makes our training very special with students applying their new skills in real-life work environments. Not only do they learn valuable skills, they go on to demonstrate them in working businesses.

We work in partnership with Quest Employment Agency to help students move into paid employment.
