Cumbernauld College brings a wealth of experience with a proven track record of successful delivery within both the public and private sector. The college services are designed to support the development of key skills where they are needed most – in the workplace.
The college offers initial free consultation/training needs analyses to not only determine the training requirements of staff but also to identify funding opportunities that may be available to businesses to support their development. This will ensure that a bespoke training plan is devised with organisational goals and aims in mind, thus creating a value-for-money training solution that is specific to the organisation.
The college training portfolio boasts a variety of different subject areas including leadership and management, health and safety, IT, hospitality and customer care to name but a few. These are available as one day courses through to full accredited qualifications and can be delivered on a day, evening or flexible distance learning basis. We are also happy to deliver training on-site at your premises or alternatively businesses may prefer to use our purpose-built Business and Conference Centre (Cumbernauld or East Dunbartonshire Campus).
