Hi all, I was just wondering if there were any grants available at present for employers to train employees, I’m keen to do my C+E and was hoping I could get it done a bit cheaper by grant’s if available
I haven’t heard of anything like this apart from apprenticeship schemes and I’m guessing that wouldn’t be what you’re looking for. There’s the HGV “bootcamps” but I personally wouldn’t bother with one of those if I was a newbie, it looks like a right palaver and far too drawn out.
If we speculate that a grant scheme did exist, you’d need to agree to be tied in with a training agreement, which would be still enforceable even if you failed your test(s) There’s info on the ACAS website site about that and it has been discussed on TN previously.
IMO people are better off funding it their self and not being beholding to anyone else, but maybe that’s just my independent streak showing.
