About Portland
Providing a high quality education to learners of all kinds, to meet their training needs and help them further their potential.
Over the last decade, Portland Training has supported thousands of learners and provided quality education across hundreds of courses. Our focus is on quality first and foremost and that pays off for our learners. With a pass rate of 98% and an end-to-end approach to learning, learners are supported throughout their journey.
Training comes in all shapes and sizes and our approach to training reflects this. We provide core training in a range of industry areas including construction, IT and tech, and security, and courses can be adapted to fit with industry needs. Staying flexible with our approach means we are giving learners the most up-to-date training and we can provide a bespoke training service to employers.
Working closely with employers is an important aspect of what we do. We provide the tools to upskill employed people and provide value for businesses, and we can do this flexibly to reflect the needs of different businesses. Our close partnerships with employers help guide our learning, so we can provide training that is recognised by industry and gives learners the right tools to succeed.
We’re proud to have helped thousands of unemployed learners to get into employment and to pick up new skills. Many of our courses have been specifically designed to give unemployed people a strong foundation for a new career, and we regularly partner with employers to provide employment opportunities.
