Blue Sky Assessing & Consultancy

Blue Sky Assessing & Consultancy Ltd, now operating under the Diverse Futures name, is a UK apprenticeship training provider offering flexible, employer-focused programmes across a range of business disciplines. The organisation delivers apprenticeships in business administration, customer service, marketing, learning and development, sales, team leading, management, human resources and project management, working closely with employers to design responsive programmes aligned to business needs. Their delivery model combines knowledge development with evidence-based assessment methods such as assignments, professional discussions, presentations, observations and portfolio building, supported by specialist Development Advisors in each subject area. Apprenticeships typically include off-the-job training, functional skills in maths and English where required, and end-point assessment, with some standards linked to professional body recognition. Alongside apprenticeships, Blue Sky offers short development courses and bespoke learning and development solutions, which can be provided as standalone interventions or integrated into apprenticeship programmes. The provider emphasises continuous improvement, creative training approaches and tailoring provision to each employer’s training requirements and succession planning, with no fixed intake dates to enable flexible starts for learners and businesses. Their stated mission is to “inspire aspirations” and provide stakeholder-influenced learning and development solutions for both new entrants and existing staff. (blueskyassessing.com)
