Skills Bootcamps are flexible, government-funded training programmes designed to help adults develop in-demand skills and move into new or better jobs. They typically run for up to 16 weeks and are available in a wide range of industries including digital, technical, green jobs, health and social care, early years education, and business administration.

These bootcamps are an excellent fit for mums returning to work or those looking to upskill or reskill. With part-time options and flexible schedules—including evening and online classes—they allow you to learn at your own pace around your family and other commitments. Most courses don’t require previous experience—just a good level of English and a willingness to learn.
