Getting Establishing

We work with lots of individuals who are looking to set up as an independant training provider and also existing organisations who waht to add training to the products and services which they already offer.

Initial advice to set up your training business

So you’ve had an idea to set up on your own and break free. Taking that spark of innovation from a paper concept to an actual training company can be a road fraught with unexpected problems. We can work with you to plan through the initial months of your business, help you identify any gaps in your business plan and offer solutions to make your dream a reality. We won’t pull any punches and promise to tell you exactly how it is, hard work but very rewarding!

Register of Apprenticeship Training Organisations

If you're wanting to deliver Apprenticeships after May 2017 you'll need to be on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Organisations.  We achieved a 95% pass rate in the first RoATP window & continue to achieve high success rates.

Organisational development plans

You can’t do everything on your own and as you start to win work and deliver you’ll have to take a step back from the front line and delegate some of the work. This can be a daunting step for some small business owners but it’s a crucial step if your business is going to flourish. One of our Lead Consultants can work with you to plan how to make this transition, support you in selecting the right team and get the right structure in place with effective reporting lines so you know exactly what the state of play is.

Working towards that first contract

It can be a long slog to get that first contract but there are Prime contract holders out there looking for new providers who are delivery qualifications in growth sectors with great delivery models. It’s important to be delivering the latest government priorities, have relationships with employers and have a delivery team in place. We can work with you to ensure you have all the things in place which potential partners will look for during their Due Diligence process.

We found The Education & Skills Consultancy via an online search, after starting our application with another company that weren’t able to offer the level of service we’d been promised. It was refreshing to speak to James who was professional, efficient and offered a very competitive price. He worked with us to complete our application quickly and thoroughly and we were successful in the first submission. We look forward to working with him again on future projects.
