Endorsement for other training

Training providers offering any types of training can use SkillsActive’s endorsement to promote their courses, workshops and seminars to new audiences.

If you offer training that may be relevant to those working in the active leisure, learning and well-being sector, apply for SkillsActive endorsement to become an approved training provider and highlight the value of your course to professionals in sport and active leisure.

If you offer training that may be relevant to those working in the active leisure, learning and well-being sector, applying for SkillsActive endorsement will allow you to become an approved training provider recognised by individuals and employers across the areas in which we work.

Endorsement for additional training covers any training for which there are no relevant National Occupational Standards. Training can range from statutory training such as first aid to business skills such as communication skills, accounting or management qualifications.
