Certificate of Future Technologies

An innovative pilot for employees to gain FREE training, delivered in modules, funded through the DfE

What is the 'Certificate of Future Technologies' pilot?

Weston College (Ofsted rated: outstanding) has created the WEIoT Certificate of Future Technologies ‘modular’ training course.

The course allows in-work adults, based in the West of England, to select from a range of 18 modules that are designed to enhance their skills and support career progression.

There is no cost to the learner to participate in this pilot! The course is fully funded through the DfE (Department for Education) as part of an innovative pilot programme running from September 2021-February 2022, to test the effectiveness and demand for short, modular courses to support in-work adults to upskill.

Provek has been chosen by Weston College as a training partner to deliver a two-day Fundamentals of Project Management module as part of this course. We will be offering eight course dates between October and February.
