In a strategic move to empower both employers and job seekers, leading North East specialist Central Recruitment & Training has unveiled a comprehensive new suite of CPD-accredited online training courses, marking a significant expansion of their professional development services.
The timing of this launch appears strategic, as businesses across various sectors, particularly in industrial and manufacturing, are seeking ways to upskill their workforce while managing operational pressures. The platform’s flexibility and comprehensive course selection make it particularly attractive to organisations looking to implement structured professional development programs without disrupting day-to-day operations.
The new digital learning platform, which has been developed to meet modern business needs, offers a diverse range of professional development courses accessible to learners 24/7.
“The way business works these days, you can’t afford to stand still – you’ve got to keep learning and growing,” says Steve Hart, Training Director at Central. “That’s why we’re excited about the launch of our new online training platform. We really want to help people and businesses across the UK reach their full potential. Our new online training platform is designed to provide accessible, engaging, and impactful learning opportunities to support the growth and development of job seekers, employees, and employers alike”.
“This launch represents more than just a new service offering,” explains Managing Director, Paul Ponton. “It’s about providing our clients with the tools they need to build resilient, skilled teams ready to meet future challenges. The CPD accreditation ensures that the training meets rigorous quality standards and provides recognised professional development.”
Importantly, the courses are not limited to employersponsored programs but are also available to individual job seekers looking to develop their professional profiles and enhance their employability.
“We recognise that the path to success doesn’t always flow through traditional employer channels,” explains Lead Tutor, Maureen Scott-Bell. “By offering these courses directly to job seekers, we’re empowering individuals to take charge of their own career development and gain recognised credentials that can set them apart in a competitive job market.
The course catalogue spans crucial contemporary business topics, including Mental Health First Aid, a particularly relevant offering given the growing focus on workplace wellbeing. Other key programs cover essential business competencies such as Manual Handling, Customer Service, Sales Skills, Stress Management, Leadership Development and so much more.
What sets these courses apart is their interactive approach to learning. Rather than traditional passive content delivery, the platform incorporates multimedia elements, interactive quizzes, and engaging assessment methods to ensure knowledge retention and practical application. This approach has been specifically designed to maintain learner engagement and drive better outcomes.
A unique feature of the new platform is the ability to create customised course bundles, allowing organisations to design learning pathways that align with their specific development needs while benefiting from cost efficiencies. Upon completion, learners receive CPD-accredited certification, adding valuable credentials to their professional profiles.
Central Recruitment & Training, which has over 45 years of industry experience and underwent a strategic management buyout in 2015, has positioned itself as a comprehensive talent development partner. The launch of these online courses builds upon their 2018 expansion into training services, creating a holistic approach to workforce development.
Companies interested in exploring these new online training opportunities can access the full course catalogue through Central Recruitment & Training’s website or contact their dedicated training team for customised solutions. Given the company’s established reputation in recruitment and training across the UK, this new digital offering is expected to significantly impact professional development accessibility and delivery.
