Welcome to the website of the Dorset & Somerset Training Provider Network
We are a not-for-profit network of providers offering training for adults and young people in Dorset and Somerset. This network allows members to share resources and experience and is here to encourage collaborative working.
Membership is open to any training provider who is delivering e2e, FL, Work Based Learning or Train to Gain in Somerset or Dorset.
Membership is also available for any partner organisations, a number of which attend our regular network communications meetings.
Employers and other interested individuals can also use this site to learn about the range of Apprenticeships, NVQs, Train to Gain, Diplomas and other training that is available.
Employers who supply goods or services to this sector are welcome to discuss the opportunity to promote their products at our network meetings.

Can we help you?
Are you an employer looking for an apprentice? Or a young adult looking for a course?
