Why Partner with the S&A Academy’s Experts in Teaching, Training, Course and Curriculum Design?
Create a Best of Breed Learning Environment
Many organisations want to train their own employees. Adding the secret sauce, cultural awareness, company values and various localised subjects to both employee onboarding and ongoing training initiatives. But most companies can’t deliver regulated qualifications (and assessments) to their employees, don’t have formally trained teachers and instructors can’t manage ‘free’ funding grants such as the apprenticeship levy. So, our approach is to combine what we do well, with what you do well, to build the perfect solution for your employees.
Increase Employee Engagement and Retention
Developing employees is critical to success. But to avoid the “train them and they leave” outdated objection, we help develop internal training departments that will provide continuous challenge and development for your staff. Delivering progressive training from junior new hires all the way through to executive coaching. We’ll help design career pathways so your employees want to stay.
Save £100K's on Redundancy and Recruitment Fees
It is much better for individuals and companies to retain staff, develop them and/or cross train them. Rather than make staff redundant and then have to hire new employees. We’ll help avoid the negative financial and reputational effects of replacing employees by helping to plan the skills required and support upskilling from one role to another as your talent requirements change.
Deliver formal Qualifications & Certificates to Your Employees
S&A deliver highly valued recognised qualifications and certifications from Qfqual L2-L7 qualifications to ISTQB, HNDs, Diplomas in Business Analysis and many many more in between. We can help you deliver formal qualifications (inc. assessments and examinations) to your employees as part of your own Academy. This helps drive employee engagement and retention.
Grow Cognitive Diversity
Group think can be a blocker to innovation and growth. Finding multiple sources of new employees with all the positive attributes you require, as well as a fair amount of cognitive diversity is critical. Creating a vibrant training academy that starts at recruitment and selection, and continues to support employee development from junior to exec helps grow that curious and innovative spirit.
Provide a Constant Stream of Junior Professionals
An effective company academy programme, designed to train new junior employees, will help provide a perpetual supply of new talent into your organisation. Filling talent gaps that both exist today and helping to deploy new skills required in the future.

With an outcome and business benefits driven approach
Its always about the people. But a business needs to thrive to support its people. As an Ofsted regulated and ESFA funded training business ourselves, we’ll help you design your academy to suit all roles in your organisation. Integrating your values, products, services and strategy into your onboarding programmes, core training curriculums and lifetime career pathways. We’ll assess your current capabilities, help you leverage all types of external funding and curriculum support and ultimately design a whole academy to suit your business.
From promotion and enrolment to optimal delivery methodologies
Deploying a new, or even enhancing an existing academy, takes careful planning and collaboration across multiple groups within an organisation. We’ll help get your academy into operation from performing the correct skills assessments to determine learner pathways to implementing the right technology to teach and assess your employees as they progress through their learning pathways.
Efficient, effective, funded, in demand employee full lifecycle training
The management and continuous improvement of your academy is fundamental to its success. We help ensure training materials are constantly updated, new curriculums can be easily integrated, learner pathways and progressions are optimised and all available external funding such as your apprenticeship levy is maximised. We can take care of all your compliance and reporting requirements when dealing with government funding sources.
Industry Relevant, Job-Role Specific
Our Three Level Stage Approach to Implement and Optimise Your Employee Learning & Development Programmes
We have rebuilt our apprenticeships from the ground up, enhancing them with countless value-added modules, projects and real world experience. Both our bootcamp, where we take all apprentices full time for an upfront 10-12 weeks intensive learning experience, or our more traditional weekly or monthly day release programmes, are designed so our apprentices are job-ready fast.
Some examples of programmes we can integrate into your own Academy, often free of charge.
