Learn a Living with LifeSkills | Home

We've come a long way since 2002 when we first set up the business. It all started when Spencer Fearn and Andrew Wright decided to tap into young talent by launching an innovative music and graphics programme. That was in our first home in the heart of Bethnal Green. These days we still have a thriving centre there but we've expanded across the UK and now have Training Centres in Basildon, Peckham, Lowestoft, Rotherham and Sheffield. And of course there's also our Leeds centre run by our sister

LifeSkills is about showing learners the way by giving them the tools they need to get the jobs they want. Our employment and apprenticeship learning programmes have been highly praised throughout the industry.

We were awarded a Grade 2 from the Adult Learning Inspectorate in 2005 and Ofsted in 2009. Between 2009 and 2012 we received four consecutive top 100 placings in The Sunday Times list of Best Small Companies to Work For, and we also received extraordinary status in the Best Companies awards in 2009 and 2011.

And because there's nothing wrong with blowing your own trumpet from time to time, here's some other achievements we're really proud of:

A total of 79% of young people on our Foundation Learning courses went into a Job, Apprenticeship or College

A total of 86% of our Apprentices achieved their full apprenticeship framework.

LifeSkills are holders of the Investors in People Gold award, the highest standard in the land.

We now cater for over 1000 learners on a variety of different programmes. And even though we've expanded at a rapid rate, the quality of our learning has never been compromised. We always put the learners first and give them the best possible support so they have the best possible chance to not only realise their potential, but exceed it.
