Don't just take our word for it
The Skills Network have proudly partnered with Unite the Union, Britain’s largest trade union partner, to provide innovative online employee training via distance learning qualifications to Unite’s national member base of 1.42 million representatives.
We provide Unite’s members with government funded level 2 qualifications in their chosen subject areas, and as of June 2018, we have enrolled over 940 union members onto a nationally recognised qualification.
All courses are available through flexible distance learning content, which has allowed union members to complete their courses when and where they like. Union members are provided with the opportunity to enhance their vocational knowledge needed to excel in their career, be that in enhancing their current position, gaining a promotion, or starting a new job.

“The reason I completed the course was to help me in my current role as Unite Life Long Learning Representative. I would definitely recommend The Skills Network and their Level 2 Information, Advice or Guidance Course. Thank you The Skills Network!"
