Upcoming courses by month
View all coursesAccredited training, one clear price
We run courses as closed bookings for one organisation, on a date agreed with you. Every price below is the full price — tutor, learner workbook, awarding-body registration, assessment and certificate all included. There is nothing further to add.
Booked for your team
Courses run for one organisation on a date that fits your rota, rather than open sessions anyone joins.
Up to five people, flat rate
The headline price covers up to five people — the same whether you send one or five — so it’s worth filling the places. Above five, the extra-person rate applies.
Delivered by our tutors
At our unit in Millom, or at your premises where you have a suitable room. We’re an approved centre for QNUK and Open Awards, both regulated by Ofqual.
First aid
| Course | Length | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| QNUK Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) | 3 days | Enquire |
| QNUK Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) | 1 day | Enquire |
| QNUK Level 3 Award in Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions (RQF) | Half day | Enquire |
First Aid at Work is 18 hours of teaching, Emergency First Aid at Work six hours, and Responding to Anaphylactic Reactions four, each with the assessment on top. Certificates are valid for three years — renewal training must be sat before the current certificate expires, so we’d suggest booking around six weeks ahead.
Food safety
| Course | Length | Up to 5 people | Each extra person |
|---|---|---|---|
| QNUK Level 2 Award in Food Safety for Catering (RQF) | 1 day | £305 | £50 |
| QNUK Level 2 Award in Food Allergen Awareness in Catering (RQF) | Half day | £235 | £40 |
Food Safety for Catering is six hours of teaching plus a one-hour exam; Food Allergen Awareness is four hours plus half an hour. The two are often booked together on the same day.
Hospitality and catering
| Course | Length | Up to 5 people | Each extra person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Awards Level 1 Award in Hospitality and Catering | 54 hours | £2,150 | £400 |
A full qualification rather than a one-day course, with 54 guided learning hours across an agreed programme of sessions — well suited to putting a group of staff through together. Talk to us about how you’d like the hours arranged.
Functional Skills English & Maths
Open Awards Functional Skills at Entry Level 3, Level 1 and Level 2 — for adults and young people aged 11 and over. Teaching is quoted at the tutoring rate opposite.
Resits are charged for. We’ll always tell a learner before an entry is made.
Tutoring, support & invigilation
One-to-one or small-group teaching outside a scheduled course, including exam preparation and support for learners who need additional time.
We work with a lot of neurodivergent learners, and adjustments are planned in from the start rather than added on.
To book, tell us the course you want, roughly how many people you have and which weeks suit — and we’ll come back with dates. Qualification specifications are available on request. Prices are current as at September 2026.
Our qualifications are certificated by our awarding organisations
