Train to Gain

If you want to improve your organisation's productivity and maximise your competitive advantage, you need to make sure each of your employees has all the skills they need to do their job properly.


Train to Gain is the Learning and Skills Council's (LSC) new service which has been designed specifically to meet businesses' training needs. An initiative to raise the skill levels of people who are in work but do not already hold at least one Level 2 qualification. The aim of the initiative is to have all skilled employees trained to a minimum of a Level 2 certificate. KTL will work with you to cover an Organisational Needs Analysis (ONA). We then put together a training plan that will offer a choice of training solutions for each employee. Training is available not only for trades, but administration, support staff, management and leadership.


Skills For Life: What are they?

Skills for Life or Basic Skills qualifications are designed to help you develop the skills you use in everday life, such as reading, writing or maths. Skills for life certificates are available in adult literacy, adult numeracy, information and communication technology (ICT) and also in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). See the following websites for further information and support for learning and Skills for Life.
