Extra support for the cost of training
In response to employer demand, from August 2008 Train to Gain was significantly enhanced to ensure it provided a wider range of support and more help with the cost of training
All businesses now have access to:
Full funding for:
· Basic skills support at all levels
· First full level 2 qualifications (equivalent to 5 GCSEs) and
· First Level 3 (equivalent to 2 A-Levels) for 19-25 year olds
· Some first Level 4 for 19-25 year olds who do not already have a Level 3
· Some funding for people who already have qualifications at Level 2 and 3 and would like to take another
Shared investment between the employer and Government for:
· English for Speakers of Other Languages qualifications at all levels
· Apprenticeships
· For businesses with between 10 and 250 employees, support towards the costs of leadership and management development
In addition, Train to Gain can help businesses source full cost, higher level and bespoke training support.
