Bespoke Services

Tower Hamlets College has an established history of providing bespoke training and support solutions to businesses. There are four primary ways we support businesses in this area:

Creating or adapting unaccredited provision to meet the specific needs of a particular group or sector within the business, or a particular issue. These courses are usually short, and focussed on soft skills. One recent example involved a made-to-order three-hour team training session delivered prior to an important company event, with the focus on how the team could maximise business opportunities at the event

Adapting nationally recognised provision to meet the specific needs of the business. This can involve the inclusion of units aimed at skills requirements unique to that business such as product knowledge, or unique IT or customer service systems. It can also involve the creation of a new accredited qualification

Bespoke progression routes and training solutions for all or the majority of the business. We work with companies to fill the training gaps in their internal 'skills ladders', offering advice on how to maximise funding for their training, how to ensure that that training meets the needs of employees at varying levels within the business, and how to support development through training progression

Supporting / developing / enhanding 'sustainable training' within an organisation. This can take a variety of forms, but the underlying prinicple is building capacity within an organisation to delier their own training, and if appropriate for that business, to work towards drawing down their own funding to support their training. This support can also incorporate our 'Train the Trainer' programme, upskilling and appropriately qualifying identified internal staff
