Train to Gain

Train to Gain is the national skills service that supports employers of all sizes and in all sectors to improve the skills of employees as a route to improving business performance. It is a government funded initiative which helps you identify the skills your business needs and then helps you to get the best value for money by identifying and recommending any government funding that's available.

South Thames College has a Train to Gain contract.  This means we have FREE training available to help your employees to:

  • gain their first full level 2 qualification (equivalent to 5 GCSEs), even if they already have qualification at this level
  • gain some level 3 qualifications
  • access training for low skills staff such as Skills for Life

As a Train to Gain provider South Thames College is focused on the needs of business, which includes:

  • Being flexible about the timing, place and pace of training
  • Employing staff with recent experience of the business sectors they specialise in
  • Working with businesses to design tailored programmes specifically to suit them
