With almost 25 years’ experience, Skills Group specialises in delivering apprenticeships, full-time courses and bespoke career development programmes across the South West.

Apprenticeships can provide a golden opportunity:  paid jobs with time set aside for study to gain industry knowledge and skills. We work in partnership with top local employers across a range of sectors including Business, Automotive, Construction, Teaching, Hairdressing, Child Care, Engineering and Health & Social Care. Our learners work with the employer throughout the week, earning a salary, with time spent with us in our state-of-the-art facilities led by industry experts to consolidate their learning.

Skills Group is one of the largest independent training providers in the country and one of very few providers to be recognised as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. Over the last few years, Skills Group has invested over £4 million in training facilities to create realistic working environments and our state-of-the-art workshops are fitted with the tools and equipment used by industry.

Skills Group is not a school or college and recognises that environment does not suit everyone; our difference is our focus on finding the right path for each individual to help them succeed.

We also work in partnership with employers to provide bespoke career development and apprenticeship programmes that maximise business performance. Training is designed to meet organisational needs and professional standards, equipping participants with the skills and knowledge they need to perform effectively and efficiently.

Our specialist and dedicated staff are committed to supporting both the employer and the learner throughout their time with us, and as a result we are one of the largest independent training providers in the country with a current success rate of 81% compared to a national average of 67.3% placing us in the top two nationally*
