Do I have to pay for my course?

Those aged 16-18 may also be able to claim Education Maintenance Allowance while you learn. For courses aimed at those in employment, generally NVQ and Apprenticeship courses, you may be able to obtaining funding up to level 2. Your NWT adviser will assist you in assessing your eligibility and obtaining funding. See individual course details for specific funding details, and for more information please telephone an NWT adviser on 01380 729375.

Where can I take my course?

Most NVQ courses are assessed in your place of work, but if you are undertaking a taught course, this will take place at one of our five training centres across Wiltshire. Learners taking advantage of self-taught courses, such as Learndirect programmes, can use the facilities available in our centres, including computers, internet, leaflets, video and the experience and input of our advisors.

I was never very confident at school – can you help me learn now?

Yes! Everyone has their own learning style, and NWT can adapt the way that you are taught, learn or assessed to suit whatever works best for you. Our E2E programme helps people aged 16-18 to get the confidence and motivation they need to get into meaningful work or training.

I am an employer how can NWT help me?

NWT does not just work with individuals who need help getting back into the workplace.
