Something new for learning and talent development is on its way.

Confident managers.

Future-ready teams.
Focused workshops, short courses and longer programmes.
Employers can buy focused workshops, short courses and longer development programmes independently of apprenticeship funding. Each one is built around a defined need, with clear learning outcomes and a practical way to use the learning afterwards.
Courses can run as private workshops for your team, as a programme across several sites, at our Leeds academy, in your workplace, live online or blended. We’ll agree the format, length and group size with you.
