Student learning at a digital course working on a computer

The Training Place of Excellence is a training provider with over 10 years of experience in education and training for employment. We help learners build confidence, practical skills, and real career opportunities.

Our courses

We offer courses in accounting, ICT, business, financial literacy, and employability. Taking part in any of our courses will help you build your career. These programmes will give you important skills and help you prepare for work in a practical way.

You will learn through hands-on activities. You will use digital tools and do real-life tasks that reflect what employers expect in office, finance, and administrative roles. Courses are delivered online and face-to-face. Supportive tutors will guide you step by step. Learning is flexible and designed to fit around your work, family, and life commitments.

Depending on which course you choose, you may gain experience with accounting software, Excel, and Microsoft Office. You may also learn how to prepare financial information, manage tasks, work in teams, or understand personal and business finances. You will also develop transferable skills such as communication, time management, and problem-solving.

Some courses support you to move into work experience, paid work, apprenticeships, further learning, or self-employment. This includes freelance bookkeeping. By the end of your course, you will feel more confident and better prepared for the workplace. You will also be clearer about your next steps.

Our teaching 

We use a blended approach to teaching that combines tutor-led sessions, online sessions, practical activities, guided independent work, and group discussions. Your learning will focus on real-life tasks, allowing you to practise skills such as using digital tools, completing accounting and office tasks, solving problems, and working collaboratively. Your tutor will provide clear explanations, demonstrations, and regular feedback to support your progress and confidence.

Our tutors are experienced professionals with strong industry backgrounds in accounting, business, ICT, and employability. They understand different learning needs and create inclusive, supportive environments where you can learn at your own pace.

At the end of your course, you can progress to other courses we deliver, apprenticeships, further education, employment, or self-employment. You will also gain transferable skills and confidence that will help you in further learning or workplace roles that match your career goals.

The courses are also a great addition to your CV and can help you when applying for other jobs as well, giving you more skills and opportunities in different areas of work. The support and guidance make a real difference, and I’m grateful for what I’ve learned. If you’re looking to gain qualifications, build your confidence, and improve your chances of getting a job, I would definitely recommend giving them a try!

I had a great experience during my Sage training at The Training Place of Excellence! Mary is a wonderful tutor – she explains everything step-by-step, answers all questions patiently, and really makes sure you understand the practical side. Brunilda in the office was also lovely and made the administrative process completely smooth and stress-free. I feel much more prepared and confident now.

I recently finished my Sage 50 practical training and AAT Level 3 Bookkeeping course here, and the hands-on approach was exactly what I needed. Special thanks to Mary for being such a patient, knowledgeable, and engaging teacher – she made every concept crystal clear.

“I attended the Financial Literacy course in September, and I really enjoyed it. The course was very informative and easy to understand, and I learned many useful things about budgeting, saving, and managing finances. I was also very happy with the teacher. They explained everything clearly, were patient, and made the lessons interesting and engaging. I would definitely recommend this course to other people because it provides practical knowledge that can help in everyday life.”

“I have had some wonderful experiences since starting the training; initially I was given information about the course and the duration of the course, the classes are very diverse and inclusive. I am fortunate to progress on to an Apprenticeship after completing my course.”
