Advanced Manufacturing Skills Bootcamps

Skills Bootcamps are fully funded or subsidised, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks for learners living in England, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview or progress in their current role as part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs, helping everyone gain skills for life.

The £3bn Government initiative is designed to close the skills gap in the UK that has been intensified by the disruption that coronavirus caused to job sectors and businesses. Skills Bootcamps are a great way for those looking to further enhance their skills, wanting a career change and those not currently in work, to gain knowledge and experience which will be increasingly vital over the next few years.

The training is funded through the Department of Education (DfE). There are no hidden costs.
