Frequently Asked Questions
Are EMS courses funded?
Many EMS courses are funded, but funding depends on factors such as where you live, your current circumstances, and the programme you’re interested in.
We work with a range of funding providers across areas including York & North Yorkshire. This means funding opportunities can vary throughout the year.
The good news is that you don’t need to work it all out yourself. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, simply get in touch and we’ll explain what support may be available and recommend the most suitable options.
Many learners are pleasantly surprised to discover they are eligible for funded training.
Who can apply for funded training?
Funded training is available to a wide range of people, including business owners, self-employed individuals, employees, managers, jobseekers, and people looking to change careers.
Eligibility varies depending on the course and the funding available at the time. Some programmes may have requirements relating to age, location, employment status, or previous qualifications.
The important thing to remember is that you don’t need to work out the eligibility rules on your own. Our team can quickly explain what support may be available and recommend programmes that match your circumstances.
If you’re motivated to learn and improve your skills, it’s always worth having a conversation.
How does Funded Training Work?
Funded training means the cost of your course is covered through funding provided by organisations that want to support skills development, business growth, employment opportunities, and career progression.
Once you’ve made an enquiry, we’ll discuss your goals, check your eligibility, and explain any funding that may be available to you. If you meet the requirements, the course fees are covered, allowing you to focus on learning rather than worrying about the cost.
The process is usually straightforward, and our team will guide you through each step. We’ll explain what information is needed, answer any questions you have, and help you complete any paperwork required.
Our aim is to make accessing training as simple and stress-free as possible.
Do I need qualifications to join?
Many EMS courses are designed for beginners and do not require any previous qualifications or experience. Whether you’re starting a business, learning new digital skills, developing confidence, or considering a career change, there are often programmes available for people who are completely new to the subject.
Some higher-level qualifications and specialist programmes may have entry requirements or benefit from previous experience. If that’s the case, we’ll explain this clearly before you enrol.
If you’re unsure whether you’re suitable for a course, we’d encourage you to ask. We’ve helped thousands of people who initially thought they weren’t qualified enough to get started.
Can businesses send employees on training?
Absolutely.
EMS works with employers of all sizes to help develop skills, improve performance, and support staff progression. Whether you’re looking to develop first-time managers, strengthen leadership skills, improve digital capabilities, or support wider workforce development, there may be training options available to suit your team.
Many employers also benefit from funded training opportunities, helping them invest in their people without the full cost usually associated with professional development.
If you’re not sure which training would have the biggest impact on your organisation, our team can discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable options for your staff and business.
