SkillsActive's training provider licence allows providers to offer unlimited endorsed courses for up to two years.

The training provider licence allows training providers, that have met the set criteria, to be able to submit multiple courses for submission, throughout the length of their licence.

We understand that training organisations have different priorities and offer many varied pieces of training (workshops, conferences, seminars through to courses).

SkillsActive has developed a training provider licence to suite any training organisation at a cost that can be tailored to suite your needs.  For example, we have 3 categories:

• Apply now for an endorsement licence for all training courses (Category 1C)
• Apply now for an endorsement licence for workshops (Category 2)
• Apply now for an endorsement licence for seminars, conferences and master classes (Category 3)

Should you only deliver a certain category then you only need to supply that category as your initial submission and then from there on deliver training as and when a skill shortage or a demand arises.  If however, later you wish to deliver different categories of training then you can upgrade at any time by contacting This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  please note that in order to deliver a different category above the one you initially submitted then we would require an additional submission to ensure that we have verification that you can meet this standard.

The standard submission process involves completing the Training Provider application form and attaching all the criteria requested online.  Should you not fully understand the criteria then please refer to the submission guidance pack that gives detailed information on how to meet our criteria.

Once you have submitted it will then be sent to an industry expert and evaluated.  For further information on the process please refer to the submission guidance pack.
