Level 2 has never been of interest to employers, they ensure recruits are skilled to that level. More specific and more advanced training has been needed for some time but it has taken over 2 years of clamour for this change to take place. The funds can come from the Train to Gain budget because the training to Level 2 was not being taken up as it was offered.

I agree with David. Almost anyone who already has a job will already be at level 2 or above. I must have been approached by at leat 50 training companies offrering "free" training under the Train to Gain scheme, but the courses hitherto on offer have just not been relevant to the needs of industry. The only time I did send a group on one of these courses they all complained that it was a waste of time. So, does this new initiative open the door to getting Govt sponsorship for level 3, 4 & 5 courses in relevant technical subjects? I hope so, but for some reason I'm a bit sceptical.....
