Adult Training

Training for adults is emphasised at Beneast. We appreciate what a difference high quality training can make; to the individual, to the employer and to the community.

Benefits for the individual

An adult who recognises a need for new skills and greater understanding is a person with a lively mind and a willingness to grow. For you, training is invaluable in your personal development, maximising your potential, and giving you the means to get more out of your job, get a promotion and enhance your life.

Benefits for the employer and economy

For an employer, training brings many benefits, from a more effective performance to a more motivated workforce. And as companies flourish, so do the communities around them, as the economy prospers.

According to the National Audit Office, skills gaps cost £10 billion in lost revenue per year – the equivalent of £165,000 for a typical business with 50 employees. Training could put your company on the way to regaining that!

Our aims

Beneast works extensively with adults to help them gain new skills through training.

Sometimes this training is particularly aimed at those who are returning to work, helping them to make the transition successfully. For others, it’s geared to increasing their current abilities and expanding their knowledge.

What we offer

As the largest independent training provider in the area, Beneast offers a wide range of adult training aimed at employees.

This encompasses two initiatives; Learndirect and Train to Gain.

Learndirect is taught entirely online, with a vast range of courses on offer, many of them business-oriented.

Train to Gain is focused on matching a workforce’s skills needs with appropriate training. A Learning and Skills Council service, it’s based on the successful Employer Training Pilots (ETPs). While smaller companies will be able to access most funding, Train to Gain is available to all employers.
