During these difficult times WS Training continues to operate and strive to deliver excellence in training whilst supporting our local community.
Due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and following Government guidance we have closed our training centres; however, our Supported Learning Centre remains open to key workers and vulnerable students offering education to those that rely on this provision at a difficult time. We are also offering remote training to our learners, who are able to complete work remotely at home.
We may not be physically present at your workplaces and our training sites but we remain to support existing students and employers by way of remote learning; we are also able to accommodate new learners, including furloughed staff and employers onto our apprenticeship programmes. WS Training is currently operating a remote training provision, from initial assessments in Maths and English to advice and guidance on funding and suitable career pathways. Our experienced teams are able to remotely guide both learners and employers through the process.
Our tutors and assessors are remotely supporting all on-programme Apprentices and their employers. We are continually taking advice and information shared by the Department of Education, the Education Skills Funding Agency and other Government agencies to ensure that we are offering the correct support and sharing the appropriate information.
