This weekend saw another wave of students training towards their industry recognised qualifications in trades such as Electrical, Plumbing, Gas, Decorating, Tiling, Plastering, Bricklaying and Carpentry.
Today we'll speak on some of the reasons why students turn to our Weekend Training Courses as apposed to our full time courses. But before we speak about those, please just remember we offer weekend training for all of our trades and we welcome anyone interested in our courses to come down and take a look at our centre just to see what they're like in real life!
So let's start with reason one...
Work alongside your current role
A massive advantage of going with weekend training is that you can of course keep your current role during the week and train towards either a new career or gain further qualifications 2 days a week - Saturday and Sunday. This has proved to be a very popular option for students who already have work commitments during the week and can't afford to go down the full time route.
Better Work/ Life Balance
Training towards a new career can often be very time consuming for those who have families to look after as well as other various commitments. Some training courses out there may require you to study in the evenings after a full days work, which takes up time away from your evening commitments but the beauty of weekend training means you don't have to worry about them during the week.
Pay As You Train
Able Skills don't only provide flexible courses, but we offer flexible payment options too. This means for anyone on our weekend training courses, as well as our other full time courses, we allow students to pay their course fees on a weekly basis as apposed to paying the full amount up front.
World Wide Recognised Qualifications
Yes, you still get the exact same world wide industry recognised qualifications! We operate our courses from a City & Guilds accredited centre as well as our Gas Training Courses being Apec Accredited. Rest assured we help you train towards the correct qualifications to get your career kick started when out in the real world. If you have any questions about these qualifications, please don't hesitate to give us a call or ask us in person!
Naturally, the more students you speak to, the more reasons you receive as to why our students have chosen our weekend training courses! These are just a few and certainly not all of them!
We pride ourselves on being the UK's number 1 training provider and make it possible for as many people as possible to train towards a brighter future.
