Our approach to skills training

Our approach is simple: define and deliver outstanding skills training that unlocks people’s potential and harnesses competitive advantage for the UK’s businesses.

Every part of what we do is driven by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to learn. It’s fundamental to developing apprenticeship programmes that work harder for everyone, for good. And it’s why over 15,000 people a year choose to learn life-changing skills with Lifetime.

Partnership leads the way

Working end to end means starting at the beginning and understanding everything: your business, its culture, and where you want to go. It’s how we’re able to take everything off your hands (including the bits you may not have thought of). We develop unique training programmes, measuring impact along the way. Everything is tailored to achieving your vision.
