Funded care and housing qualifications available
Nuts and Bolts Training is working in partnership with a long established national training provider to offer the following range of fully funded* vocationally related qualifications at level 2.
The qualifications are delivered through a distance learning process over a period of 8 – 16 weeks using high quality workbooks with support and guidance provided by a dedicated team of qualified assessors/tutors.
This delivery model provides flexibility for organisations where absence from the workplace can be difficult to manage and the excellent workbooks act as an on-going reference material.
