Skills North East

As an organisation, we believe that the most effective training for short courses & apprentices is through face-to-face, trainer-led delivery, and for Apprenticeships supplemented by mentoring in their place of work.

This blended approach helps to develop not just the apprentice’s technical skills, but also softer skills around communication, confidence and relationship building.

Our Trainers and Mentors join SNE with years of experience within the sectors, we deliver in. This allows them to effectively guide and mentor learners or apprentices in becoming the best they can be.
