Why finance, HR and operations sign this off
A short version of the business case, for the people who have to approve it.
You can prove what your team has learned
Certificates on the CQC evidence file. Auditable completion records. Named awarding-body accreditation you can point regulators, boards or clients at.
You can budget it in a single quarter
Most Level 2 and 3 pathways complete inside 6 to 9 months. Per-seat pricing means one line on a purchase order. No open-ended contract, no auto-renewal.
You do not need an L&D team to run it
The dashboard is designed for busy managers, not full-time L&D professionals. Weekly digest emails flag learners who need a nudge. Everything else is on the platform.
How it works

- Discovery call (15 minutes). Your sector, headcount, skills gaps and rollout window.

- Contract and enrolment. Consolidated invoicing, learner bulk-upload, dashboard access provisioned for named managers.
- Rollout and induction. Cohort welcome, manager briefing pack, first-week check-in call.
- Delivery and progress. Learners study online with tutor support. Managers see live progress in the dashboard.
- Completion and certificates. Awarding-body certificates issued direct to learners with copies on the dashboard for HR and audit.
Frequently asked by UK employers
Short, direct answers to the questions procurement, HR and operations ask most.
What qualifications can our team study through Lift College?
Our business catalogue covers healthcare and social care, leadership and management, education and childcare, functional skills, and professional pathways. Every qualification is Ofqual-regulated and awarded by a recognised UK body such as Open Awards, TQUK, CMI or Pearson. Typical enrolments include Care Certificate, Level 3 Adult Care, Level 5 Leadership and Management, Level 3 Teaching Assistant, and Functional Skills English and maths Level 2.
How does group pricing work for businesses?
We publish transparent per-seat pricing and offer volume discounts from 5 seats and above. Larger cohorts (25+) unlock rollout support, a dedicated adviser, and consolidated billing. A short discovery call gives you a written quote inside one working day.
Do you support NHS Trusts and healthcare providers?
Yes. We work with NHS Trusts, care groups, hospices and independent providers on Care Certificate, Level 2 and 3 adult care, medication awareness, safeguarding and clinical CPD. Content aligns with CQC fundamental standards and the Care Certificate framework. Enrolments can be staggered to protect clinical rotas.
Is this an apprenticeship?
No. These are commercial workplace qualifications, not apprenticeships. There is no 20% off-the-job time requirement, no ESFA paperwork, and no apprenticeship-levy dependency. Learners study around their shifts through our online platform with tutor support.
How much time do learners need each week?
Most Level 2 qualifications complete in 6 to 10 weeks at 4 to 6 hours per week. Level 3 typically runs 3 to 9 months. Level 5 leadership and management usually completes inside 12 months. We share indicative pathways during your discovery call.
What visibility do managers get into learner progress?
The employer dashboard shows enrolment status, progress percentage, assessment submissions, and completion dates for every learner in your cohort. You can export a CSV for HR records and audit trails at any time.
Can we use the Apprenticeship Levy or ESFA funding?
Lift College business training is delivered outside the levy and ESFA funding routes. Levy funds can only pay for approved apprenticeship standards. If levy funding is central to your strategy, book a call and we will discuss whether an apprenticeship route via a partner or a complementary commercial cohort makes more sense.
How fast can we start a cohort?
Small cohorts can enrol within 48 hours of contract sign-off. Rollouts of 50+ learners typically start inside two weeks so we can align inductions, name a lead adviser and configure the dashboard.
