Funded training

CM Training UK are able to offer the following funded training options:

Train to Gain £1000 match funded training for Leadership and Management - London Area Only

Response to Redundancy funded training - South London Area Only


Train to Gain Funding:

The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has been providing Leadership and Management funding to businesses for several years.
The programme has now evolved as a Specialist Advisory Service with new eligibility criteria that opens up the offer to previously ineligible organisations. Now even more employers will have access to funded training that enhances their leadership and management skills and in turn nurtures business growth.

What is the Leadership and Management ProgrammeThe programme, funded by the Learning and Skills Council, is specifically aimed at business owners/managers responsible for the direction of an organisation, including private, franchise, public and voluntary bodies employing between 5 and 249 staff.

Each employer can benefit from up to £1,000 of grant support. The first £500 does not require a contribution from the employer and should be used for key directors. The subsequent £500 must be ‘match funded’ by the employer and is available for key members of management.

How to qualify
To be eligible for the programme your organisation must:

• Employ between 5 to 249 people
• Be based in London
• Not already have received Leadership & Management funding support (under Train to Gain)

NOTE: Funding was previously unavailable to businesses that had attained the Investor in People standard.

Now funding is available irrespective of whether you have the standard or not.

How it works
A Specialist Adviser will carry out a free impartial Individual Needs Analysis and help you develop a Personal Action Plan which clearly identifies your requirements. Together with your Adviser you will agree on the best solutions to meet the development needs you have identified.

When you have undertaken your training you can apply to have the costs reimbursed up to a total of £1000 (excluding VAT).
