COPA

COPA is a North Wales-based training provider, formerly known as North Wales Training, that delivers apprenticeships and skills programmes across England and Wales. From its head office in Llandudno, COPA focuses on helping people of all ages reach their “peak potential” by gaining skills and qualifications for sustainable employment. The organisation offers over 300 courses, with a strong apprenticeship portfolio that includes pathways in active leisure, construction, management, early years, teaching and learning support, wellbeing, and advice and guidance. COPA works with employers to design training that addresses skills gaps, improves performance, and supports workforce development, and has been delivering apprenticeships in England since 2021. In addition to apprenticeships, COPA provides programmes such as Jobs Growth Wales+, short courses and other professional development options for individuals who are unemployed, early in their careers or looking to upskill. Rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2023 for the quality of its apprenticeship provision, COPA emphasises a collaborative, people-centred approach grounded in its core values and long-standing partnerships with employers and communities.
