What is a Short Course?

A short course in the UK is a training program that lasts less than two months and often comes with a qualification. These courses help develop key skills for the workplace and can be taken for upskilling or personal improvement. They are designed to quickly equip learners with the necessary skills to enhance their career prospects.

What are the benefits to Learners? 

Learners benefit from short courses by gaining valuable skills in a short period, enhancing their employability and career opportunities. These courses provide focused, practical training that can lead to qualifications, making learners more competitive in the job market.

What are the benefits to Employers? 

Employers benefit from short courses as they help upskill their workforce quickly and efficiently. These courses can address specific skills gaps within the company, improve employee performance, and increase overall productivity. They are cost-effective ways to invest in staff development.

How are Short Courses funded? 

Short courses can be funded through various means, including employer sponsorship, government funding, and personal investment. For instance, our Level 2 NCFE in Gym Instructing may be funded through personal or employer contributions, while the Multiply Course in collaboration with Skills for Life is supported by government initiatives aimed at improving essential skills.

How can a Short Course help further my career? 

Short courses provide targeted skills and qualifications that enhance your career prospects. These courses offer practical knowledge and certification, making you more attractive to employers and opening up new career opportunities in your current workplace.
