We are an Ofsted "Outstanding" training provider, specialising in apprenticeships and workforce development training courses. HWGTA are unique.

As a local, employer-led, not-for-profit organisation, we are dedicated to meeting training needs of local businesses. HWGTA is “one of the best providers of bespoke apprenticeships.”- Ofsted 2016. We are specialists at providing bespoke training for workplace competence and qualifications across Herefordshire, Worcestershire and further afield. I oversee the development and delivery of our management and leadership programmes. We are an accredited Institute of Leadership and Management Centre. For a list of the courses we deliver, see www.hwgta.org/courses

We have a positive and dynamic approach to working with companies from the manufacturing, processing, finance, legal and service sectors, ranging from small family businesses to major international companies, together with utilities companies, local authorities and primary health care trusts. We believe in providing help and advice in a positive way, and are enthusiastic and work hard to develop on-going relationships with our members and customers. We work in partnership with individual organisations to identify their training requirements both to develop existing employees and to recruit and train new personnel. We are financed and controlled by local companies.This means that our member companies decide how they want their training organisation to be run for maximum benefit to their businesses, employees and the local community. It means that we design our training provision in direct consultation with our customers. With our expert staff and top class facilities, we can provide ‘off site’ training and ‘on site’ support, brought together seamlessly into an effective training solution. This in turn produces employees who are skilled and motivated, able to fit in easily to the work environment for which they have been trained. For more information see www.hwgta.org

Congratulations to Thomas Lewis on achieving a Distinction in his apprenticeship as an Electrical Fitter Engineer with Mazak.
Adrian Rees, HWGTA Learning & Development Specialist, said:
"Throughout his apprenticeship journey, Tom has demonstrated a strong work ethic and commitment to his development. He worked hard to ensure all aspects of his programme were completed in a timely manner. When the time came for his End Point Assessment, unforeseen circumstances meant he was stranded overseas, but Tom went the extra mile to ensure he could complete his assessment successfully, even arranging for hotel staff to print the documentation he needed while completing part of his EPA from a hotel room in Bulgaria. Achieving a Distinction is a fantastic reward for his efforts and thoroughly deserved."
Well done, Tom!
