On a mission to help SMEs in England upskill their teams and streamline their businesses.
We are a government approved training provider based in Folkestone, Kent, working with businesses and individuals across England. Delivering training since 2004, and securing the government funding that pays for it ever since. Ofsted Grade 2.
Train, nurture, Build.
Everybody wants the third one. You do not get there without the first two, and skipping them is where training money gets wasted.
Train
Teach them to do the job properly
AI and automation, leadership, marketing and customer service, and the everyday skills the business actually runs on.
nurture
Build their confidence, not just their skills
Confidence is the part people underestimate. Somebody who believes they can do the job starts taking work off you, and they stay.
Build
Turn it into a business
Better systems, better margins, and a business that keeps working when you are not in the room.
Two very different groups of people, one system behind both.
Businesses
Owner led businesses in England, usually somewhere between 5 and 75 people. We train the staff you already employ in AI and automation, leadership and management, marketing and customer service. Government funding covers up to £18,000 of training per person.
Individuals
People training or retraining in hairdressing, digital skills, or the teaching award. Generally 19 or over, earning under £25,000 and living in England. For a lot of people there is nothing to pay.
We are the provider, not a broker.
We deliver the training ourselves
Nobody is passing you on and taking a cut. The training is ours, and so is the responsibility for it.
We do the paperwork
Working out which fund applies, reading the rules, filling in the applications, and chasing it when it goes quiet. That is our job, and it is the reason people come to us instead of going direct.
Ofsted Grade 2, registered with VTCT
That is what makes a qualification real, and it is what makes the funding possible.
Founder led, and a small team behind her.

The team
A small, experienced team. You deal with the same people from the first phone call through to the last certificate.
