The Lifetime Skills Guarantee is a revolution in the adult education system which puts employers in the driving seat working with colleges, training providers and universities to make sure that every training course and qualification supports them to find or develop talented people of all ages to fill skills gaps. It will give adults greater flexibility to get the skills they need throughout their life and wherever they live, from free Level 3 qualifications and Skills Bootcamps, to basic skills offers and more.

Skills Bootcamps

Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of up to 16 weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector specific skills and fast track to an interview with a local employer.

Courses are designed to support local regions and employers to fill in demand skills needs. And from today, Skills Bootcamps are expanding further helping even more adults across the country gain digital, technical and green skills. You can also encourage your existing staff to take a Skills Bootcamp, helping your business to fill skills gaps whilst also investing in retaining your people.
