Independent Training Providers

Training Providers work with colleges to offer a range of training for people of all levels, some are focused on particular skills and some cover all industries covering local, regional or national opportunities.

Public Sector Bodies

Local Authorities and institutes such as the NHS have large training schemes and departments, although they usually work with other external training providers and send their apprentices to local colleges for part of that training.
