Train to Gain
Train to Gain is the National skills service that supports employers wanting to improve employee skills with tailored training. Darlington College is a Train to Gain provider and can offer fully or partially funded training so your employees can achieve their full potential and gain job-related skills for life.
Is Train to Gain right for your business?
- You are looking for fully or part-funded training for your employees
- You want your employees to achieve a qualification that recognises their skills
- You want training and assessments to take place in the workplace rather than at college
What training attracts full government subsidies?
- First full Level 2 qualifications (equivilent to 5 good GCSEs)
For employees who don't already have a full Level 2 qualification, we provide funding for literacy, numeracy and English language skills, plus their first full Level 2 qualification. Funding is also available for a number of additional Level 2 qualifications.
- Contributions to Level 3 qualifications (equivalent to 2 A-Levels)
For employees with a Level 2 qualification we'll contribute significantly towards the cost of a Level 3 qualification. For employees who don't have a Level 2 qualification but have the skills to progress straight to Level 3 , we will provide funding for the Level 3 qualification. For those who already possess a Level 3 qualification or above, there is funding available for a number of additional Level 3 qualifications.
- Leadership and Management Skills
NEW for organisations in the Private sector with 5 to 250 employees, we offer an in-depth skills analysis for owner/managers, plus grant support of up to £1,000 to develop leadership and management skills.
- Contribution to wage costs
For small businesses (less than 50 employers), we can contribute to the cost of your staff spending time away from work undertaking agreed training.
