Here’s what you get with our Initial Consultation

The opportunity to have a 30-minute discussion over the phone with an industry expert who has extensive experience in:

  • Setting up accredited training providers with a range of awarding organisations;
  • Developing the policies, procedures, resources and systems required to setup and manage an accredited training provider;
  • Writing bids to secure a range of funding contracts;
  • Completing application procedures for the ‘Register of Training Organisations’ and the ‘Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers’.

During this discussion you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Our consultant will then be able to provide you with some clarity on the steps you will need to take in order to achieve your goal.

Come the end of your Initial Consultation, you should know whether or not your business plan/idea is viable. If we decide that it is then we will recommend taking the next step in our consultation process; booking in for an Initial Scope Analysis.

Examples of who our Initial Consultations are for:

  • Organisations considering setting up a ‘training department’ or ‘training arm’ to the company;
  • Existing training providers looking to offer new accredited courses/Apprenticeships;
  • Existing training providers looking to secure funding contracts;
  • Individuals interested in setting up their own accredited/non-accredited training organisation.

    I am a fully qualified teacher with 10 years of secondary experience. I wish to start my own training company delivering Childcare qualifications but don't know how to do this.

    I am a plumbing assessor and have been working in a local college for 7 years. I wish to start my own training company delivering plumbing apprenticeships. I have already registered the company and started writing my policies and procedures but would like some guidance on developing a learner management system.

    I have no experience or training but will put a team together to deliver a range of apprenticeships. I just need to know how to set up a training company and apply for apprenticeship funding.
