Train your staff

YMCA Training can work with you to fill the skills gap in your workforce, with a view to making your business more productive and more profitable.

This section of the website provides information about the nationally accredited training programmes that we can provide to employers.

NVQs: You can enable your staff to develop their skills through work-based learning resulting in an NVQ qualification. We offer NVQs in a range of areas. Find out more about NVQs.

Skills for Life: If you think your staff would benefit from help with their Maths, English, IT or language skills then we can provide training as part of the government's Skills for Life strategy. Find out more.

Train to Gain: We can advise you on accessing financial support for your training, as you may be eligible to receive funding which will allow you to provide training at no cost to your business! Click on the Train to Gain link to find out more.

The benefits
Research shows that employers who support training for their staff inevitably receive the return on their investment. Our training options are designed to help you achieve:

• A more proficient and productive workforce
• Increased profitability
• A competitive edge on the marketplace
• Staff with a greater sense of motivation
• Increased staff retention

The approach to the training will be tailored to take into account the requirements of your business, with training delivered in the most efficient way to ensure that the day-to-day running of your organisation is not affected.

The bigger picture
We not only provide training for small businesses, but we can also work with national organisations, to provide them with training for their staff around the country. If you have a large scale training project that you would like to discuss, please contact our National Contracts Team.
