We are running a range of different Pre-recruitment and Accredited courses to improve your chances of getting into employment.

We will be delivering 2 hour taster sessions in various topics taken from the prerecruitment courses.
These give a brief introduction to a topic area for learners to find out what it’s all about, learn some new skills or see if they would like to progress onto further learning such as the prerecruitment course or Accredited Qualification starting in September.
All online courses will be tutor led and involve group tasks so all learners will be required to have their cameras and microphones on.

All prerecruitment courses will take place between March and July. They will last between 4 and 5 days (dependant on course) and will have local sector based opportunities attached to them.
All days will involve activities, group tasks, assessment (Safeguarding) and completing a workbook so all learners will need to be able to read, write and understand English to a good level (Entry Level 3 minimum).
The courses are designed to give learners the basic knowledge and understanding within the sector to either apply for roles, and be able to answer related topic interview questions, or to progress onto the accredited qualifications.
