GK Training Services Limited (GKTS) was founded in November 2005 but was dormant until August 2007. The company was started in order to deliver high quality training throughout Greater Manchester but predominately in the Wigan Borough. We offer Study Programme, SEND provision and Traineeship courses for young people aged 16 to 18. These programmes help young people to develop their skills and knowledge whilst working towards individualised qualifications and their personal development. Our long-term goal is to help our young people to progress into employment, further training or an Apprenticeship.

Statement regarding 16 to 19 Tuition Fund

GK Training Services Limited has received the 16 to 19 Tuition Funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). This is to provide our organisation with additional financial support required for extra tuition and support to our study programme learners, including SEND whose learning has been disrupted due to Covid-19 and imposed lockdown measures. 

The additional tuition provided has been tailored to the individual needs of the learners identified and covers all functional skills qualifications, employability skills and in some area’s customer service – wherever the learner requires the additional support.

By receiving this help and support from the ESFA it has contributed to helping specific learners get back on course with their learning and ensuring they positively continue to move forward on their individual learning journey with us.

The groups of learners that received/or are continuing to receive the funding were selected by their tutors, in cases where their individual progress has/had been affected. In total three small groups of 5 received additional tuition.
