Sourced with you in mind
Our training providers are carefully selected to meet your requirements for content, delivery and where appropriate funded

Understanding your needs
In today's fast-evolving world, the options for training is immense. SEATS experts establish what you need and source according to those needs. This includes content, delivery methods and even locations and timings.
Where 'off the shelf solutions' aren't possible SEATS looks at the options for bespoke or whether there is enough employer demand to create an aggregated cohort (meaning we put employers together to create demand).
Brokering training that meets employer needs is essential to ensure that employees possess the relevant skills and expertise required. This alignment between training and industry expectations not only enhances productivity but also aids in providing future resilience.
Our Role
SEATS are unique in the way that we source what you need for your business and if it doesn't exist, we look at ways of either aggregating employers or finding a provider that will.
Our brokering of training involves the strategic collaboration between educational institutions and employers to design courses that meet specific requirements. By directly consulting with employers, training providers can develop curriculum tailored to real-world applications.
This proactive approach not only boosts the quality of education but also strengthens the pipeline of talent available to employers, leading to a more competent workforce.


The Benefits
Implementing training programs that are in line with your requirements brings a multitude of advantages. For employers, it ensures access to a workforce that is not just theoretically knowledgeable but also practically skilled. For employees, this kind of training enhances career prospects and prepares them for immediate success in their respective fields. Ultimately, a well-trained workforce aligns with business goals, promoting growth and sustainability in the long term.
Accredited vs Non-Accredited Training
When choosing a training programme, deciding between accredited and non-accredited training is a crucial step. Each option offers unique benefits, and the choice depends on your goals, preferences, and business needs.
At SEATS, we help you understand the differences and guide you in choosing the right training to meet your business and staff requirements.
What is Accredited Training?
Accredited training is officially recognised by accrediting bodies that ensure courses meet high standards of quality. These programmes are ideal for individuals seeking:
- Formal recognition
- Career progression
- Industry-approved qualifications
What is Non-Accredited Training?
Non-accredited training focuses on flexibility and affordability. These programmes suit individuals or businesses looking for:
- Niche or emerging skills
- Customisable learning experiences
- Budget-friendly training options
