The flexible, fully funded courses are part of the Government's Lifetime Skills Guarantee.

Spanning up to 16 weeks, the courses offer adults aged 19 and over the chance to develop essential sector-specific skills and advance their careers.

Ensuring flexibility, the courses offer a blend of online and college-based learning, with in-person sessions taking place at NWSLC’s Nuneaton or Wigston campuses.

Providing intensive, focused training the bootcamps also support local employers by addressing workforce gaps and support self-employed professionals to broaden their expertise.

Paving the way for new job opportunities, these programmes also offer unemployed participants a guaranteed interview.
