At VAST we recognise that training is a vital part of any business operation and we are confident that our programme remains quality assured at all times. Our trainers have over 10 years experience in the public, private and voluntary sectors and are: fully qualified in all subject areas delivered, qualified teacher/trainers, qualified assessors & internal verifiers, those that offer Business Support are also SFEDI accredited.
Accredited Training Courses
Some courses in our training programme lead to a nationally recognised unit accreditation or full qualification. To achieve these, candidates will be required to complete the course and, for some courses submit a portfolio of all the necessary work. Accredited courses are individually priced and include delivery, registration, resources, examination papers where applicable and certification. The delivery will be a mix of taught sessions, one-to-one, and online support via email.
Pricing
We appreciate that funding or lack of it plays a major part in an organisations ability to access training and therefore we aim to keep our fees at very competitive prices.
