Train to Gain

The Government sponsored Train to Gain programme is aimed at raising skills of the workforce and provides the opportunity for employees, whether paid or voluntary, to receive skills training and be assessed for their skills competency in the workplace. This training carries no cost for employers providing they fit the following criteria:

Employees must be 19+ years, employed in the field in which they wish to gain a qualification and must not already possess an NVQ Level 2 or 5 GCSEs grades C or above. Assessment is carried out mainly through application of on-the-job skill and assessment in the workplace. Underpinning knowledge sessions are usually carred out in College or on employer premises.

Where a business has less than 50 employees, a claim can be made for a contribution towards the cost of wages of the employee once they have achieved.
