Skills Bootcamps

Skills Bootcamps

These 10-16 week part time courses, which are funded by the Government, are available to study with us at various times during the year. 
These courses are free for individuals, and SMEs get 90% funding for their employees. Larger employers get 70% funding. 
 
Skills Bootcamps focus on developing practical skills for direct application to the workplace and will consist of a day a week with our subject specialist lecturers. As part of their studies, learners will develop a portfolio in their field to give potential future employers a clear demonstration of their abilities, or to enhance their skills in their current role. 

Is a Skills Bootcamp the right course for you?

These courses may be ideal for you if you want to: 
– Upskill in your current role as an employee or freelancer 
– Return to work with new skills after parental leave 
– Find skilled work in a growing industry 

See the below listing for all the Skills Bootcamps currently on offer at Exeter College. We also offer Adult Leisure courses for those wanting to explore new hobbies.

Upskill your employees with a Skills Bootcamp

If you are an employer that is interested in accessing funding to upskill existing employees, you will need to register your interest directly with Exeter College. We will discuss the funding level with you, as to whether it will be a 10% employer contribution per cost of the course per employee, or a 30% contribution per cost of the course per employee.

Details of fee
Employers contribute to the cost of training if they want to use Skills Bootcamps to train their existing employees. Large employers contribute 30% of the cost, and small or medium employers (SMEs – less than 250 staff) contribute 10%. They will be invoiced at the start of the bootcamp. 

If you have any questions, contact our Skills Bootcamp Team on: skillsbootcamps@exe-coll.ac.uk

Skills Bootcamps have been designed to help local people advance or pivot their skills to help to kickstart their career in their chosen field.
