Whether you are in work, changing jobs or looking for employment, People and Business is here to help.

For early years workers, we offer a full range of qualifications in children’s care, learning and development from level 2 to level 4, as well as the new level 3 certificate in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Anyone moving or hoping to move into a team leader or management role – whether in early years or elsewhere – should consider taking one of the highly respected ILM qualifications. We provide all the training, support, materials and assessment for ILM awards and certificates at level 2 (team leading) and level 3 (first line management). For experienced managers we also offer the Senior Award of a City & Guilds Licentiateship.

We also offer a wide range of standalone courses in business management and early years practice. If you are aged 24 or under, your employer should normally be able to access funding for the full cost of an apprenticeship or advanced apprenticeship. If you are 25 or over, funding may still be possible through various routes. In some cases, funding is also available for standalone NVQs as well as ILM qualifications. And for learners who want to pay their own fees, we can offer highly competitive rates and excellent value for money. If you need any information on costs or funding, just ask us.

We use technology to take the drudgery out of learning and to make it rewarding, enjoyable – and fast! But we do expect learners to be committed, and to produce work and attend meetings at the agreed times. We will ask you to sign up to a contract which sets out your commitments, and what you can expect from us in return.
