Starting a new course or taking the next step in your career is an exciting opportunity, but we understand that returning to learning as an adult can sometimes bring new challenges. Whether you’re looking to build your confidence, develop new skills, change career direction or gain a qualification, you don’t have to navigate your journey alone.
At EKC Training, we’re committed to helping adults achieve their ambitions in life and work. Our support is designed to help you feel confident in your learning, overcome challenges and get the most from your training.
Learning and academic support
Everyone learns differently, and sometimes you may need a little extra support to help you succeed. Our teams are here to help you stay on track throughout your programme.
Depending on your course and individual circumstances, support may include:
- Support from your tutors and training team, helping you understand your course, develop your skills and work towards your qualification.
- Progress reviews and regular feedback, giving you the opportunity to discuss your progress, identify areas for development and celebrate your achievements.
- Additional learning support, where available, for learners who may need additional help with their studies or have a learning difficulty or disability.
- Help building confidence, particularly if you’re returning to education after a break or are new to your chosen subject.
Wellbeing and personal support
We understand that learning is only one part of your life. As an adult learner, you may also be balancing work, family and other responsibilities alongside your training.
If you need support, we’re here to listen and help you find the right guidance. This can include:
- A supportive learning environment where you can speak to your tutor or training team about any concerns.
- Guidance and signposting to appropriate support services if you need additional help.
- Support with challenges that may affect your learning, helping you stay focused on your goals.
- A welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to achieve their potential.
Careers and progression support
Your training could be the first step towards a new job, help you progress in your current role or give you the skills and confidence to pursue a new opportunity.
Our training programmes are designed with employment and progression in mind, and your tutors can help you consider where your new skills could take you.
You may be able to access support with:
- Understanding your career options and exploring where your new skills could take you.
- Developing employability skills that can help you progress in the workplace.
- Preparing for your next step, whether that’s further training, a new job, progression in your role, or self-employment.
- Building confidence in your abilities, helping you recognise the skills and experience you can bring to the workplace.
Financial support
We understand that the cost of training can sometimes be a consideration when you’re deciding whether to take the next step.
Depending on your circumstances, course and eligibility, financial support or funding options may be available to help make training more accessible.
Our team can help you understand the funding options that may apply to you and explain any eligibility requirements. It’s always worth speaking to us before enrolling if you’re unsure about the costs involved.
Support for adult learners
Choosing to learn as an adult is a positive step towards achieving your ambitions. Whether you’re gaining your first qualification, developing existing skills or preparing for a completely new job opportunity, we’re here to help you make the most of your training.
You bring the ambition and we’ll help you build the skills and confidence to achieve it.
