Custom Training Programmes

We assess learners’ specific needs and interests to design customised training programmes and workshops tailored to various sectors. Our unique Turn Around programme empowers learners to transform their lives and prepare for diverse career paths by covering the following topics:

  • Neurodiversity in Learning

  • Personal and Social Development

  • Empowerment Essentials

“These courses combine essential skills training, wellbeing support, and cognitive development to set learners on a path towards a successful and positive future.”

Confidence & Resilience

With a focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles, the programme helps learners build confidence, resilience, and wider essential skills for life and work.

The course will be delivered through a hybrid learning model, combining online and face-to-face sessions. We always aim to accommodate different learning styles and needs, providing flexibility and accessibility to our participants.

The course runs for up to 18 weeks, tailored to each learner’s individual pathway and needs.

Our training is fully-funded for individuals aged 19+ who are based in South Yorkshire.

We are an award-winning training provider renowned for our diversity and inclusion values and we were awarded a ‘Good’ rating in our first full Ofsted inspection. We deliver flexible learning with an experienced and dedicated Acorn Training trainer. We collaborate with a range of employers to create tailored training, ensuring the future workforce are well-equipped to deliver high-quality services.

Learner Success Story

Steven recently relocated to South Yorkshire after facing a tough year, including the loss of his wife and caring for his brother through cancer. He had been out of work for over 12 months and was initially unsure about joining our Turn Around Programme. With the support and encouragement from our team, he decided to take the first step and get enrolled.

Through lessons in Neurodiversity in Learning, Steven achieved 100% attendance and actively participated in group discussions, supporting and encouraging his fellow peers. By opening and engaging with the material, he has built upon his self-awareness and gained the confidence to see new possibilities for his future. The team here at Acorn are super proud of Steven and all that he has achieved, and we look forward to supporting him in the next chapter of his learning experience.
