Skills Bootcamps are short courses of up to 12 weeks that allow you to build up sector-specific skills and support you towards employment. If you're looking to retrain, pursue a career in a new field or start your own business, our Skills Bootcamps are for you.
You'll receive between six and eight hours of teaching and complete around ten hours of independent study a week. Some courses are fully online, whilst others are a mixture of online and face to face teaching.
We're delivering these in partnership with employers, providers and local authorities. These courses are fully funded by the Department for Education and help you gain skills for life, help support skills demands in your area and ultimately help you take the next step in your career journey.
Our short courses have been designed to address identified skills gaps and demand. We're regularly developing new courses as demand changes and evolves.
These courses range from a couple of days to a few weeks. You'll have a wide range of learning opportunities that'll build your confidence and achievements, expanding your portfolio of skills and giving you a springboard for future career goals.
