IPS International

IPS International is an independent training provider offering apprenticeships and commercial training to employers and individuals across a range of sectors. Originally formed in 1986 as the training division of an international steelmaking group to deliver specialist engineering maintenance training, the organisation has since expanded into management, business skills and health and social care, becoming a limited company in 1997 and independent through a management buyout in 2000. IPS delivers apprenticeship programmes and vocational training in engineering and manufacturing, construction, health and social care, business administration, digital marketing and related disciplines, with provision available at its Rochester and Dover centres or on employer premises. Apprenticeships span engineering, automotive, construction, business and digital, and healthcare and early years, supported by smaller class sizes and industry-experienced trainers. In addition to apprenticeships, IPS offers a variety of technical commercial courses, including electrical, welding, mechanical and City & Guilds programmes, as well as bespoke training tailored to business requirements and flexible external AAT exam sittings at its Medway City Estate venue. Accredited by bodies such as Matrix and Investors in People Gold, IPS focuses on relevant, high-quality training and consultancy to help organisations upskill and reskill their workforce and support career development for learners at different stages.
