Learning and skills for the voluntary and community sector
North Kent Training Service (NKTS) for the Voluntary and
Community Sector (VCS): Accessible, relevant and excellent value
since 2004
NKTS (www.nkts.co.uk/) is based at the
Council for Voluntary Service (www.cvsmedway.org.uk/). It
primarily provides training for VCS staff and volunteers, to build
capacity within their organisations. Up to date training programmes
can be found on the NKTS website. These courses are funded by the
Big Lottery Fund and by working in partnership with Swale CVS and
North West Kent CVS, courses can be delivered over the whole north
Kent region.
Courses are wide and varied, responding to the needs of the
sector. They are very cheap in comparison to other training bodies
and include:
- management of volunteers;
- fundraising;
- presentation skills;
- Sage accounting.
In addition to the Big Lottery Funded programme, money has also
been made available from the Learning and Skills Council's
Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities (NLDC) fund for
courses for unemployed people or low-paid and part-time workers who
need skills and qualifications to get a job.
These courses are free and include:
- first aid certificates:
- food safety;
- Portable Appliance Testing training;
- Door Security qualifications and licences;
- Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Construction
Card;
- phone skills.
Check out the website or phone to ask about the hundreds of
courses it can provide or if you have any ideas for courses you
would like to take.
