Employers Information on Government Funded Training
Essential Skills in the Workplace
As an employer, you may be facing a widening gap between the basic skill levels of your employees and those needed to maintain competitiveness
- Do you want to improve workplace basic skills but don't know where to start?
- Could your employees improve their work place skills?
- Are you unsure of what funding is available for your company and employees?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then we could have the solution you looking for. Best Training delivers everyday English & Maths Skills which lead to The National Certificate in Adult Literacy and Numeracy at Entry level 3, Level 1 & 2. Basic Skills are free to adults over the age of 19, are from the UK & EU or have lived in the UK for 3 or more years.
In addition we deliver QCFs & Apprenticeships which attract Government funding.
Workplace Basic Skills are the core skills that employees need to do their jobs successfully.
These skills are critical to the success of modern businesses. They are also crucial in public sector workplaces such as hospitals, schools and government offices.
Workplace basic skills include IT, literacy & numeracy skills that are essential to an organisations success and high performance.
Employees who improve their basic skills are also likely to become more conscientious and the quality of their work generally rises.
Staff will benefit from:
- Improved reading and writing skills(follow written instructions at work, fill out forms, report write, send comprehensive emails, record information correctly)
- Improving their number skills (estimate, read and understand measurements, work out discounts)
- Using computers, technology, tools and information systems effectively
- Improving their ability to build and work in teams
- Improved their self confidence
- Feeling more valued as a staff member
Where will Staff learn?
- Anywhere they have access to an internet. All our courses are available online, so they can learn in the comfort of their own homes in the evening or weekends.
- In the workplace during lunch breaks or quiet periods
- At one of our centres located in Poole, Winton, Ringwood or Kinson.
What support will our Staff need?
- Your staff will have their own personal tutor, who will support them while they learn. This will either be in person, or by email and over the phone.
How long will it take to gain a qualification?
- Generally on average it can take up to 2 months to gain a qualification. Some may take a little longer and others can be completed in a few weeks. Before we start, we’ll discuss and agree this with you.
When can we start?
- Anytime, the benefits of studying with learndirect are that learning hours are flexible; you go at your own pace in a relaxed environment. You will agree with your tutor your start date and end date plus how many hours you can commit to each week. Our recommended studying time is a minimum of 6 hours a week.
