Consultation description

National Skills Fund investment is being used to help adults to train and gain the valuable skills they need to improve their job prospects and support the economy. Through National Skills Fund investment, we have launched free level 3 qualifications for adults and are expanding Skills Bootcamps.

This consultation invites views on areas such as:

  • how we can ensure the free level 3 qualifications and Skills Bootcamps are even more accessible to a wide range of people
  • how we can ensure the free level 3 qualifications and Skills Bootcamps meet the needs of a range of employers
  • how we can make it easier for more providers to deliver Skills Bootcamps
  • progression into level 3 courses and how Skills Bootcamps can fit within longer progression pathways.
  • where the skills system could do more to meet priority skills needs below degree level
