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.

Intent Statement
Every aspect of our curriculum is focused on the learner’s onward destination. Through a safe, inclusive, and positive learning experience, we support our learners to develop their knowledge, skills, and behaviours to best prepare them for their personal goals, chosen job role and/or further learning.
Through our strong community partnerships and effective engagement, we encourage participation from those people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Learners are at the heart of what we do at Portland Training and our intent is that all learners will have a positive onward destination built on the strong foundations of the curriculum.
We continuously evaluate our provision to ensure it is the BEST. We analyse our outcomes and feedback from our learners and key stakeholders to do this. This allows us to shape our curriculum to meet the needs of our localities, including priorities and opportunities. That way our curriculum is always relevant and gives our learners the best opportunity to progress.
In line with our values (Believe, Encourage, Support, Together), we encourage ambitious outcomes for all learners.
