What training is available?

Lil306

Just more of a general query, as to what courses I can sign up for to improve my job training and knowledge whilst I look for jobs (that are FREE)
Or if there's a site which can tell me. I'm on Universal Credit

I spoke with my local job centre about sending me on a course (e.g Forklift Driving), and they said that it's available to me, but not straight away. Basically I have to send job applications to an employer about Forklift qualifications, and then tell them it's available to me and get the course that way

I'm trying to find courses I can do now whilst I'm looking around for jobs (e.g First Aider, Mechanic, Bricklayer, Auto Electrician, etc)
I've completed an Business Admin / Lean Management course, just trying to boost my general skills to apply for more jobs

Also check if your local council offers any sort of financial support in respect of training.

Thank you I'll check those links. Vision2learn is actually the one I'm training with, I'll try the others to see their courses. 
Why the local council with regards to training?

Presumably because if they'll pay for the training it will meet your requirement for the training to be free.

Thanks, I just wasn't sure why it would involve the council. 
They normally deal with housing, I wouldn't have expected them to pay for any training. If anything I would have thought the jobcentre. That's why I was trying to clarify, was confusing

Either way, free training is free trainign
