East Coast Training
Who are East Coast Training?
East Coast Training are part of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council's Adult and Children's Services Directorate and have been successfully working with young people aged 14-19 for over 10 years. We work across two sites in the Redcar & Cleveland area offering Level 1 and Entry level training at the De Brus Centre, Skelton and the new Community Fire Station in Redcar.
We were graded "good" in November 2008 by Ofsted, which recognised the support we give to young people to help them achieve their goals.
We deliver Foundation Learning to young people aged 14-19. Foundation Learning is the name given to all qualifications at Entry Level and Level 1, Foundation Learning replaced Entry to Employment (E2E) Programmes in August 2010. Our courses provide an excellent stepping stone onto Apprenticeship or Further Training at Level 2.

Financial Support
The Bursary Fund is available to provide support to young people who are 16-18 years old (or who were under the age of 19 on 31st August 2011), who are experiencing financial difficulty with meeting the costs associated with their learning.
This fund replaces EMA, however the payments are limited. At East Coast Training we aim to provide all young people with some financial support towards the cost of training. Click on our Course Information link to get more details on the Bursary.
In addition to the Bursary we also provide support in terms of travel, course equipment, childcare and other related learning costs.
