All candidates go through a safeguarding‑led process, aligned with ESFA and Ofsted expectations. This typically includes DBS checks, referencing, right‑to‑work verification, qualification checks, and compliance specific to funded programme delivery.
We partner with training providers nationwide, including those delivering apprenticeships, AEB-funded adult learning, employability programmes, commercial training, and skills bootcamps. This gives you access to a wide range of delivery models and learner groups.
You’ll receive guidance from consultants who specialise in funded delivery and skills recruitment. We assist with job matching, compliance, interviews, onboarding, and ongoing support so you can focus on delivering high‑quality training and learner outcomes.
