Croydon has a vibrant and growing business district with many well-known companies and Government departments.

We support people looking to return to the workplace into rewarding and well-paid jobs. We can support you not only with training, but also with advice on CVs and job applications. Croydon also has a burgeoning tech sector and our courses give the skills required for those looking to develop in this area.
Imagine having no prior office skills (or maybe skills that have become a bit rusty!) and being good enough to aim for a new career in 3, 6 or 9 months!
Because our programmes are so flexible, you can study as quickly or as slowly as you wish, on your way to a nationally recognised qualification.
So, the more time you put in, the quicker you’ll finish your course, but there’s no pressure.
Each of our students has different constraints on their study time, so our programmes are designed to fit around your availability.
Most students prefer to study at our comfortable training centre so you have instant access to our friendly training team and the “buzz” of learning alongside other students, however where that’s not practical, we also offer a range of online training options with phone support from our trainers that you can access from home or work – it’s your choice.
No matter which learning style you choose, you’ll join a well-respected group of about 300 Croydon students per year, focused on “bettering themselves” and aiming for real careers.
