Skills For Life

The Skills Bootcamp training programmes are substantially funded by the Department for Education (DFE), as part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee. SME organisations (under 250 employees) need to contribute £380 (VAT Exempt) towards the training. Large organisations (over 250 employees) need to contribute £1,140 (VAT Exempt) towards the training. All participation is subject to confirmation of prerequisite qualification attainment.
