Funding - Flexible Training Opportunites
Flexible Training Opportunities
The Flexible Training Opportunities programme gives Scottish businesses (1-50 employees) the opportunity to apply for up to £500* towards employee training costs.
Enhancing employees' skills will bring real benefits to your business including improved productivity and a stronger more confident workforce.
Skills Development Scotland has detailed a list of the types and levels of training that are eligible for support. These are:
Qualifications including individual units
Masterclasses
Learning based on National Occupational Standards
Industry recognised qualifications
First line supervisory management
Workshops
Taster sessions
Funding is available for up to 10 employees per business and the money is not a loan so there's no need to pay it back. We will refund up to 50% of each episode of employee training up to a maximum of £500.
For example, if an episode of training costs £1200, we will refund £500. If it costs £300, we will refund £150.
To apply call the Skills Development Scotland helpline free on 0800 783 6000.
