Guidance Notes for Employers/Business Employees

As an employer you have the option to enrol yourself or your employees on a course or training programme. If you are supporting an employee financially or via time-off to undertake training, your employee can also follow this process or follow that detailed in our Adults Section.

Step 1- Ask for Information & Training Needs Analysis

Go to our Employers/Training 4 Business website to find out about the courses and services available to Employers. If you require a printed version of our Employers / Training 4 Business Guide or our Adult Course Guide to be sent to you, please request a copy via our Contact Us – Request a Brochure Form.

We can offer you a free training needs analysis or help provide you with more information and advice on finding skills development or other training which meets the skills or personal development needs of you or your employees. We can also access any available funding that you may be eligible for on your behalf.
