Our Training

There are many ways to train as a trade. You can go back to college, learn ‘on the job’ or even study in your own free time. All of these are good ways to learn.

But they can take time and some won’t give you the full support you need to secure a job or even set up your own business.

Trade-Up is different. We’ll give you a clear path into a new career as a skilled tradesperson and make it easier to begin earning as soon as possible.

Our member training partners have been carefully selected through an assessment and interview process with input from Richard Harpin, Trade-Up’s founder.

WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FACTORS WHEN MAKING OUR DECISION, INCLUDING:

  • Brand reputation
  • Trustworthiness
  • In-house teams
  • Customer reviews
  • Equipment
  • Professionalism
  • Locations

All partnering organisations are funding members, so they have a stake in the lasting success of Trade-Up. This will allow you to find a trade that suits you and your qualities for a job best, but also ensure you get the best possible start when deciding to either retrain or change your career entirely.

And they’re established too, with over 113 years’ experience between them.
