Coming Soon

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

Your future. Your choice.

Explore apprenticeships, short courses, digital learning and career opportunities.

Apprenticeships

Earn while you learn.

Short Courses

Practical new skills.

Digital & Creative

Skills for today.

Learning that fits your life and your work.

Whatever stage you’re at, there’s a sensible next step.

Talnova helps people develop the skills to progress. Some of our learners are starting their first job. Others have worked for years and want to formalise what they know, step up to a supervisor role or change direction altogether.

You don’t need to know the name of a qualification to talk to us. Tell us what you do now, what you’d like to do next and how much time you have, and we’ll help you understand the routes that make sense — including when a short course would suit you better than a longer programme.

Find your starting point

Leaving school or college

Apprenticeships combine a paid job with structured training. We can explain how they work and help you look for a suitable vacancy.

Looking for an employer

Many apprenticeships start with finding the right job. Register your interests and we’ll tell you about relevant roles as they come in.

Already in work

If your employer supports it, an apprenticeship can develop you in the job you already do. Short courses are another way to build specific skills.

Returning to learning

It’s never too late. We’ll look at the experience you already have so you start at the right level and don’t repeat what you know.

Stepping into management

Practical courses for new and developing managers: setting expectations, giving feedback and leading a team with confidence.

Experienced and specialist

Focused short courses and masterclasses for professionals who want a particular technique or skill, without a long commitment.

Four ways to learn with Talnova

Apprenticeships

Learning connected to a paid job — knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours developed at work, with tutor support throughout.

Professional skills

Short courses and workshops in leadership, people management, customer service, projects and workplace practice.

Digital skills

Practical, everyday digital capability — from organising files and spreadsheets to content creation and using AI responsibly.

Creative skills

Hands-on learning led by Talnova Hair: practical sessions where you practise techniques and learn from professional feedback.

Courses and programmes are confirmed individually. Ask us about current availability, dates and costs before you plan around a particular course.

Questions learners ask

Do I need a job before I can start an apprenticeship?

Yes — an apprenticeship is built around a real, paid job. If you don’t have one yet, we can help you look for a suitable vacancy and tell you about new roles as they come in.

Can I learn while I’m working full time?

Yes. Apprenticeships are designed to happen alongside work, with time set aside for training. Short courses are focused so they can fit around your other commitments.

What qualifications or experience do I need?

It depends on the course. Some are open to beginners; others need existing experience. Each course explains its entry requirements, and we’re happy to talk it through with you.

Where does learning happen?

It varies by course: at our Leeds academy, in your workplace, live online or a mix. We’ll tell you exactly how and where a course is delivered before you commit.

Do I have to create an account to ask a question?

No. You can browse and send us an enquiry without an account. You’ll only need one if you go on to apply or start learning with us.
