Nova Training
If you think that staying on at sixth form is your only choice, or that your results mean the route first planned may not be an option. Think again!
At Nova Training there is a wide variety of options for young people aged 16 to 18 regardless of exam results. Joining a 16 to18 Headstart programme at Nova lets people have an individual learning plan, matched to their future aspirations which allows them to learn, earn and gain qualifications, ultimately progressing to the next stage of their chosen careers.
Eligible learners can access bursary funds to support them financially throughout their programme.
Nova Training was inspected by Ofsted in December 2013 and received an overall grade of ‘good’ with many outstanding features.
Its success has allowed it to operate a number of youth and adult training programmes with 30 training centres across the West Midlands and the East of England.
With Nova’s unique Headstart 16-18 programme young people will be supported to identify a career, perfect their skills, gain essential qualifications and explore the world of work, right the way through to a full apprenticeship.
