Level 2 accredited qualifications…
North Tyneside’s Employment and Skills Team are running two fully funded (subject to eligibility) courses, starting this September.
The blended-learning approach means you’ll attend taught sessions to enhance your learning while giving you the learning materials and assessments to do at your own pace between classroom sessions.
It’s a great opportunity to gain a recognised qualification and sessions are held at the YMCA in North Shields.
