Reaseheath College’s Business Hub in Nantwich is offering industry-recognised, land-based qualifications to help businesses and individuals rebuild after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Nantwich college is delivering a portfolio of sector-specific vocational qualifications from awarding bodies such as City & Guilds and the Road Transport Industry Training Board (RTITB).
The courses are designed to reflect the needs of industry and to be relevant to employers.
They are aimed at supporting all rural businesses, from large to niche, and where possible are tailored to suit.
Businesses can use them to develop their workforce’s skills to a higher standard, and for individuals they could lead into employment.
The courses are offered across a range of levels, with many delivering the specialist skills required for a Certificate of Competence (CoC), often a regulatory requirement for a Licence to Practice in a particular industry.
Containing a mix of practical skills and theoretical knowledge, they demonstrate that the holder has the ability to work to an industry recognised standard.
Reaseheath’s Business Hub also offers a range of accredited courses such as functional skills, essential digital
skills and Continued Professional Development.
Access to applied research, innovation and knowledge transfer services are also available through Reaseheath’s University Centre, and the college’s high-quality facilities can be used for bespoke professional training, trials and product development.
