We are Community First North East, a local training provider based in the north east.
Our company has two main branches; one is working with the business sector, and the other is working with individuals and groups of learners. We are excited to further expand our relationships with other local businesses and offer training courses to improve skill levels within the office.
Community First North East, CFNE, opened in 2010 as a community interest company with our headquarters in South Shields. Our purpose is to offer training and education programmes for both young people and adults up to any age in order to develop a new skill or add to an existing skill set. We work with local businesses of all sizes, including the NHS and Local Authority, by offering employees the opportunity to participate in courses geared towards improving not only the individual, but the business as a whole. Our vast plethora of both national and international clients showcases our ability and success to cater the CFNE experience to the business’ needs.
We offer a range of professional programmes in a range of areas. Our courses are readily available to you and cover a vast range of skills necessary for a cohesive and efficient work environment. From leadership skills to conflict resolution and even managing change, we will have a course right for your team.
With us, you have the opportunity to take educational courses such as English, Maths and ICT plus a range of vocational courses such as Health and Social Care and Business Administration. We believe that businesses see the importance of investing in their staff resource and maintaining enthusiasm and creativity. Our courses are designed to match the needs of a specific workplace and we take this into account and whatever the topic, team building occurs.
In return, we value support from employers in relation to work tasters and work experience for learners and brief visits by employers to share their knowledge with our learners. As a community interest company, all profit is re-invested within CFNE and the local community.
Our ethos is built on valuing each individual and tailoring their experience with us to suit their needs. All staff are highly qualified and flexible in their approach and our courses are delivered in a way in which reflection and discussion is valued. We are confident in our approach and in our teaching and our accredited results show outstanding satisfaction in all aspects of our work.
We are always happy to discuss our training programmes and courses that are available to you and will offer ways in which you can implement them in your work place.
