The Authority is reopening the existing Skills Bootcamps Pseudo framework agreement. This is to allow new Learning Organisations an opportunity to submit a bid to be appointed to the framework.

Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks for adults aged 19 + who are either in work, self-employed, or unemployed.
