First Avenue Training

First Avenue Training is a specialist training provider focused on childcare, education and assessor training, with a mission to improve children’s lives and wellbeing through effective training for the professionals who look after them. They aim to develop learners’ practice, knowledge and skills so they can become competent childcare practitioners and responsible tutors/assessors, while offering ongoing support, advice and guidance to help learners achieve their work and learning goals. Based in East Yorkshire, they also cover West, South and North Yorkshire, as well as North and North East Lincolnshire, and can offer distance learning for some subjects. Their apprenticeship and wider training offer includes childcare qualifications, teaching assistant qualifications, tutor and assessor training, and apprenticeship qualifications, enabling learners to earn while they learn. First Avenue Training provides information and advice on the childcare and education sectors, including funding options, and can signpost prospective learners or employers if they are not the most suitable provider. They emphasise work-based learning, allowing staff to train in real workplace settings while gaining recognised qualifications.
