Our story

Built around people.
Since 2013.

Dan founded Skills Ladder in 2013, six months after becoming a dad. His aim was to help people get more from the technology they use every day.

Today, Skills Ladder specialises in training and qualification delivery for the private and public sectors. Our work-based learning focuses on digital skills, alongside the wider science, technology, engineering and maths skills that help businesses develop.

We work closely with businesses in manufacturing, retail and professional services, designing training around real needs.

Shaped around you

Your people.
Your priorities.
Your programme.

We work with you to develop bespoke training that fits your business. That starts with understanding what your people need to do, and where they would like more confidence.

Start where you are

We work hard to put learners at ease. There’s space to ask questions and build confidence with the technology you use.

Learn in a way that fits

Classroom training and online delivery give you options. We can discuss flexible arrangements around your business.

Put it into practice

Practical, interactive learning helps people connect new skills to everyday tasks and workplace challenges.

Why invest in training?

Build the skills
already in your team.

Developing existing staff can be more cost-effective than recruiting for every skill gap. It can also give people a reason to feel more confident and motivated at work.

Training tailored to your business
