About Skills Bootcamps at GTG
Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of up to 16 weeks for adults aged 19 or over. They give people the opportunity to build up valuable sector-specific skills based on local employer demand and provide a direct path to a job on completion.
They are co-designed or shaped with employers to respond to their skills shortages. This training is for adults who are either in work, self-employed, unemployed or returning to work after a break.
GTG's HGV Skills Bootcamps are available for the logistics industry (HGV driving, ADR and transport managers). Employers can work with GTG Training to develop and deliver HGV Skills Bootcamps to help you fill skill shortage vacancies that are specific to your business.
*Please note, Skills Bootcamps are only available in England.
