Welcome to SuperSkills!
Created in 2007, SuperSkills rapidly gained a reputation for delivering high-quality construction training courses. This was recognised by local schools, employers, people wanting to start their own businesses and those wanting to repair or renovate their houses.
In 2008, SuperSkills was awarded a contract by the Skills Funding Agency to deliver Construction NVQ’s to people in work under the Train to Gain scheme and for Construction Apprenticeships in Bricklaying and Joinery. Following this, the business rapidly expanded and people started coming from all over the country to receive the high-quality service that SuperSkills delivers.
Plastering Training at SuperSkills
In 2010, the company broadened the range of courses on offer to include renewable energies, waste management, and motor-vehicle training as well as construction courses.
SuperSkills is accredited by the Construction Awards Alliance, City and Guilds London Institute, Edexcel and the Waste Management Industry Training and Advisory Body to deliver qualifications that are internationally recognised and valued by employers and individuals alike.
Additionally, as a Skills Funding Agency provider, SuperSkills is subject to inspection by OFSTED.
In June 2010, Ofsted said of SuperSkills “Train to Gain programmes are particularly successful and these learners develop good additional employability skills and qualifications that significantly enhance their economic well being.”
Thanks to changes in the Government’s funding of training, if you are unemployed and are on benefits, SuperSkills can access funding on your behalf to support your training. Just call for details.
All the instructors at SuperSkills have specific qualifications in their skill subject areas. Additionally, they have undertaken the necessary training and accreditation to teach people and assess their work for the purpose of achieving qualifications.
SuperSkills now has some 10,000 square feet of dedicated training space available to its customers, together with the necessary tools and equipment to ensure they all gain the skills they require.
SuperSkills is open throughout the year and courses run at regular intervals.
When you contact us the first question we will ask is “What are you seeking to achieve?”. From that moment our goal is to help you meet yours. We will tell you how we can help you and also direct you to a different training provider should we not be able to meet your needs.
We regarded it as essential that as your training progresses, you are given every opportunity to progress to further levels of qualification should you wish.
We deliver assessments at weekends to meet the needs of people who are working on site during the week and can offer courses on a part-time basis to those who want to undertake training whilst taking time away from work.
Our courses range from short intensive training programs for those who just want to gain skills in a particular trade, all the way through to NVQ level 4, which gives our clients the opportunity to progress from being an absolute beginner to a highly qualified tradesperson.
Bricklaying Training at SuperSkills
Don’t forget - all SuperSkills courses are covered by a no-quibble money back Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied at the end of your training course, we will give you your money back.
We know that some training centres will tell will tell you an NVQ may be gained purely by attending a course. This is simply not true.
With the exception of those qualifications for which experienced worker practical assessment is available, requiring the tradesperson to demonstrate his or her underpinning knowledge of the trade concerned, NVQs may only be achieved if the training programme includes work based assessment.
All our staff operate within the guidelines contained in the National Occupational Standards and NVQ Codes of Practice. Our delivery is regularly subject to quality assurance by each of the awarding bodies a number of times a year. Additionally, we are audited by the Skills Funding Agency, inspected by the OFSTED and local schools.
SuperSkills is based in Thirsk, Yorkshire. With the exception of on-site assessment and training programs, all of our courses take place at this location. The training centre is beside the strategic road network and a few minutes from the local railway station which is on the East Coast main line. See the contact page for a map and details of how easy it is to find us.
When clients are staying in Thirsk for the purpose of attending their training programme, we make arrangements on their behalf with two local bed and breakfast establishments, both of which have consistently received high praise for the quality of their accommodation and food. Accommodation in Thirsk will generally cost between £30-£35 a night depending on season.
So, whether you want to build or maintain your own property, develop your skills to start a business, learn how to repair your car, call 0845 130 9098 and see how we can help you achieve!
