Provider
We are a Northamptonshire based training provider, offering vocational qualifications and training courses for both individuals and corporations. We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about what we do, and the ways in which we can help you.
UK Training was set up when we identified a need for an accessible, local training provider that was able to deliver accredited compliance training and vocational qualifications to both individual employees, and larger workforce teams.
As businesses and employers today increasingly understand the value of offering formal training and qualifications to their workforces and acknowledge the importance of investing in the career development of their staff, the demand for vocational training and the qualifications that accompany it has risen exponentially.
Today, many industries require staff to be trained and certified in order to be permitted to work within certain roles, as well as recognising the direct value of investing in improving the skills of their staff.
However, many companies, and also individuals who wish to increase their skillset to make themselves more appealing to employers often have difficulty finding an accredited training provider that offers a comprehensive, fully inclusive service comprising of the necessary skill training and formal certifications that they need in order to progress.
UK Training offers a comprehensive range of training courses and accredited compliance qualifications for employees working in a wide range of industries including, but not limited to, the private security sector, customer service, food service, the hospitality industry, and many more!
Ultimately, our intention is to grow and expand our training and certification portfolio to include an ever-wider range of courses, as dictated by the needs of our clients, and future updates and changes to the existing regulations regarding industry-specific certification and staff training.
