Learner Support Service

At Chiltern Training we provide a learner support service for all individuals who are on one of our training programmes.

The Learner Support Service is free for our learners. It is your service and exits to help you achieve your learning goals.

The Chiltern Training Learner Support Service includes:

• Information – we have access to a whole range of information including learning and work, occupational information, CV and interview technique handouts as well information on student loans, EMAs and applying to university
• Access to confidential and independent careers advice from a staff member who can help you plan your learning and work goals or help you decide which training programme is best for you.
• ILP Support - an opportunity to discuss your Individual Learning Programme to ensure that your literacy, numeracy, ICT skills are improving or to ask for extra learner support from us
• Signposting to other Services. If we do not have the expertise in house to help you, we can point you to an expert that can help with issues such as counselling, financial and housing support and benefits.

The learner support service is available from Monday – Friday 9 – 5
