Train to Gain
Train to Gain is one of the best ways to resource training and
development within your organisation, small or large.
Thousands of organisations have already used Train
to Gain to draw down funding to develop staff and increase their
competitiveness. Employer Engagement sources funding for training
in London and surrounding areas with a view to covering all
of your training needs.
If you have employees who do not have a level
2 qualification, are eligible to work in the EU, and are 19
or over they will usually come under the Train to Gain eligibility
criteria. Very recently the eligibility criteria have been relaxed
to include volunteers and self employed, making. Train to Gain
a fantastic opportunity to support and motivate your loyal staff,
volunteers and if you are self employed an opportunity to gain
new skills for yourself.
What if I have people who are under 19?
This is fine. Simplistically Train to Gain is to help develop
employees over 19 who have missed out on funding available.
For those aged 16-18 there is a wealth of funding and training
opportunities we will be happy to explain to you.
What is Train to Gain?
Train to Gain is funding from the government to pay for an NVQ
qualification. This can be classroom based but is often delivered
at the place of work.
Why use Train to Gain?
Train to Gain is not simply about free training. It is about
understanding exactly what your organisation needs to remain
competitive and sourcing government funds to pay for part or
even all of that required training. The correct training delivered
well, can increase productivity, customer retention, and competitiveness.
Piecemeal training rarely produces significant returns and there
is usually a critical mass needed to ensure organisational improvements
take hold. Train to Gain is an opportunity to harness government
funding to help deliver that critical mass and create sustained
improvements.
What is an NVQ?
NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification and is a recognised
standard. The vast majority of government funded training provision
will be accredited in this way and covers vocational areas from
business admin and IT to equestrian care. NVQ training will
be delivered by a mixture of classroom, online and one to one
tutoring and assessment. Learners for all NVQs have to collect
evidence to prove that they can perform the job they are being
trained in. Learners collect evidence of their work and this
portfolio forms a major part of the assessment.
What type of training is on offer?
The funding available for Train to gain NVQs is in a variety
of occupational areas. The subjects that we offer are as follows:
Along the way if there is a skill gap in your Literacy or Numeracy,
