We specialise in helping people to realise and reach their potential
We work with a network of community venues, hubs and charities across the country to support people to learn in a place where they feel safe and comfortable. We aim to remove barriers to education, making learning as accessible as possible.
We offer a number of accredited courses to people in the local community who are looking to gain qualifications and improve their chances of gaining employment. Our talented team of Purple People work together with each community centre to offer a suite of courses that meet the people who access your services.

We have access to a breadth of different funding from both central and local government, which allows us to support people to gain nationally recognised qualifications.
Our qualifications are perfect for people looking to build their CV, and many are designed as a direct link into employment. Some of our courses are ran in collaboration with local employers, but we also have an in-house careers team that can provide careers advice and employability support.
We know not everyone is ready to take that step into the world of work - and that's okay! We welcome people at all levels onto our courses, and sometimes the biggest achievement is supporting someone to realise their potential and believe in themselves.
We have a long history of supporting people locally...
Although we’re a national training provider, we have regionalised engagement teams across the country who understand the needs of their local area. If you’d like to get involved and offer funded qualifications to people who access your services, we’d love to work together.
