Training and development

As you’d perhaps expect, one thing your business can get from an educational institution is training.  What’s different about us is the nature of our offer.  For years now, the University has taken its expertise out to the business community, rather than expecting you to come to us.  We offer bespoke workplace-based learning to companies in any industry.

Highly trained and able staff give a business an edge. And in a difficult climate like the current one, you can arguably benefit more from training simply because many of your weaker competitors won’t be keeping up.  Upgrading the skills of your workforce can boost efficiency, increase morale, develop new areas of expertise to sell and contribute to retaining key people.

But investment only creates real impact if the training is truly appropriate to your business and its staff. At the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Technology we have a reputation for keeping our feet planted in the real world. So our training packages are not off-the-shelf but bespoke and up to date.

This approach has certainly worked well for organisations we have worked with such as the RAF, CISCO Systems, LEONI, the NHS and Britvic, and it could work just as well for yours.

Once we understand your corporate goals and ambitions, we can help you confirm knowledge and skills gaps - and then go about filling them with effective, tailored training programmes that lead to recognised qualifications. All the while, we’ll do our best to ensure your training can be delivered on-site, to minimise your costs and down-time.

We can even point you in the direction of funding and grants to see that your training plans come to fruition. And of course we’ll support you every step of the way.
