Stockport College is a major provider of training and a key regional and national centre for a range of specialist courses. Stockport Training for Business is the corporate arm of the College. It provides employers with a service tailored to their needs, offering bespoke solutions to employer specifications either locally, on your premises or in the College.
Whilst we provide a broad range of 'off the shelf' courses designed to cut across all industry sectors such as First Aid, Health & Safety and IT, we are also able to help more with specific areas like Leadership & Management, Care, and Apprenticeships.
We are 'highly recommended' too, 96% of employers said they would recommend Stockport Training for Business to another employer*, probably one of the reasons why so many employers come back again and again to use our service.
