We offer free, flexible training programmes across a range of industries — whether you’re re-entering the workforce, changing careers, or simply ready for a fresh start. All courses are delivered with our signature Beyond the Bias support and personalised guidance, so you're never navigating it alone.

Who is this for?

You are eligible if:

  • You are aged 19 or over (by 31 August 2025)

  • You live in London

  • You are unemployed, receiving benefits, or on a low income (below £27k annually)

  • This is your first time enrolling in a free course through Beyond the Bias

Please note: If you completed one of our free courses last year (such as numeracy, digital skills or another pathway), you will not be eligible to enrol again this year.

💡 What’s on offer?

We work closely with our partners to offer free, accredited training across multiple pathways – including creative industries, business and administration, digital and tech, healthcare, education support, and more.

Whether you're looking to explore something new or build on existing experience, there’s a course for you – from confidence-boosting workshops to career-focused bootcamps.

🔄 Course options update regularly — often every week — so there’s always something new to discover.

Programmes range from short one-day tasters to longer, multi-week qualifications, with a mix of online and in-person options across locations like Tottenham, Regent’s Park, Soho, and beyond.
