HOST meets the highest International quality standards, so that our clients can be confident that they are receiving the most up-to-date, industry-focused skills. We work with a wide range of organisations across the UK, from FTSE 100 companies to small and medium-sized businesses, and we pride ourselves on the excellent feedback and repeat business that we have always received. Our qualifications range from short, one-day in-house courses, to Level 7 NVQ Diplomas for Senior Project Managers. The majority of our courses take place at our training centre in just off the A13 near Rainham, East London, but we can carry out most of our training and assessment services at our clients’ premises throughout the UK. Many of our NVQs can be funded through our contracts with the Skills Funding Agency and European Social Fund, thus reducing the burden on clients’ training budgets. We can also advise Companies on how to claim back funding through the CITB levy. Many of our clients actually draw down more in grants and funding than it costs them to train their staff, turning their training division into a profitable cost centre. We also offer Advanced Learning Loans to for qualifications at Level 3 & Level 4. We have been awarded with Matrix accreditation for the high quality of our Information, Advice & Guidance, and achieved Ofsted Grade 2 (Good) for the quality of our Apprenticeship and NVQ provision in 2014.
