What does e2e involve?
Your e2e course will help you with the skills you need to improve to help you get a job. Most e2e courses will:
- Improve your literacy and numeracy
- Develop other skills such as communication and IT
- Get you work experience so you can try different jobs
- Give you the chance to get qualifications, such as adult literacy, numeracy and Key Skills and in areas such as first aid and health and safety
How long does the course take?
This depends on you. The course will be designed to cover exactly what you need. For most people though, the course lasts around 22 weeks.
How often will I go?
You'll attend the e2e course between 16 - 30 hours a week, depending on what's right for you.
Why should I bother with e2e?
e2e will give you great start in your career, because not only will it help you improve your skills so that you'll be more likely to get a job, it will also help you to decide what you want to do if you don't know already. It will help you to find a job or make the move to further education or training at the end of the course. So you'll be sorted!
How do I apply for the course?
Contact your local centre to let them know you're interested. You can call us, email or drop in to the centre to find out more and talk through what's involved. Once you've decided e2e is for you, just contact us directly and we will arrange for you to come in and meet with us. We will take care of everything from there. You can also be referred to us for an interview by Connexions.
How will I afford it?
If you're worried about staying on to train, instead of earning money in a job, check out the EMA, which could pay you up to £30 a week while you're on the e2e course. Click here to find out more. YMCA Training will also give you some help towards your travel costs for the course.
What if I'm over 18?
If your 19-24 you may still be able to join e2e. Contact your local centre to find out more. Alternatively, YMCA Training might offer something else that will help you get to wherever you want to be in life. Visit our Apprenticeship or Job Search pages to see what else you could do.
