Bedford College gallops to advise businesses at White Horse breakfast club

Bedford College’s award-winning sales and marketing team were represented at the Network in Bedford (NIB)  business breakfast at the White Horse pub in Newnham Avenue.

Business Development Manager Karl Ringsell talked through “Training Solutions for Employers” and how Bedford College provided NVQs, apprenticeships, short courses and bespoke training courses for companies.

The areas covered included Business & Management, IT, marketing, 

H & S and skills for life such as basic Maths and English -  as well as whole range of industry-specific training.

Some of the training could be provided free or at least subsidised because the College can access Government funding for key courses. For instance, the cost of certain Leadership & Management courses could be funded by up to 50% by the Government - but hurry this needs to be booked before the end of the year, said Karl. 

Among the audience at the invitation-only club was HR expert Carol Scott who was interested to learn that Bedford College could help one of her clients in Cambridgeshire with an apprentice. Bedford College training extends into neighbouring counties. It has an Accountancy and IT academy in Milton Keynes and a Learning Centre in Rushden.

Network in Bedford meets every other Thursday at the White Horse pub in Newnham Avenue, Bedford where landlord Nigel is leading member - and prepares a delicious cooked breakfast for members. Anyone interested in attending should contact http://www.nibeds.co.uk/
