It was a pleasure to attend the Employer Networking Event, last week.

We had a fantastic time meeting so many enthusiastic students and parents, discussing future opportunities and offering advice on which courses could help students gain valuable UCAS tariff points to support their university applications.

It was great to see so much interest in further education and the different pathways available to help students achieve their goals.

Thank you to Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to meet with students and their families. We look forward to seeing more students in QE Training Academy, and helping them on their journey to success!

We had a fantastic evening at the Raise the Bar Awards in Leeds last night!

A big thank you to Flutter UK & Ireland and Paul McCormick, Chief Technology Officer at Flutter UKI, for hosting such a wonderful event in a fantastic venue, and for the delicious food.

Thank you also to Andrew Edwards BBC Radio Leeds for presenting the awards, and to James Mason (WNY Chamber CEO) and West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce for giving us the opportunity to enter.

Although we didn’t take home an award this time, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and were truly inspired by the talent, creativity and innovative ideas showcased by the winning companies.

Congratulations to all the winners! We’re proud to have been part of such a fantastic event and look forward to returning next year.

Supporting young people with their mental health can feel daunting. Knowing what to say, how to listen, and when to get further help can make all the difference.

That’s why we’re running our Qualsafe Level 2 Award in Youth Mental Health First Aid on Friday 9th October.

It’s a practical, one-day course for people who work with young people and want to feel more confident recognising and responding to mental health concerns.

We’ll look at things like:
• Anxiety, stress and depression
• Eating disorders
• Su***de and suicidal thoughts
• How to have supportive conversations
• Active listening
• When and where to signpost young people for further support
• Using a Mental Health First Aid Action Plan

The course is £90, but we’re offering 20% off for schools. Just use SCHOOL20 when booking, bringing the cost down to £72.

Are you new to leading a team, or thinking about taking that next step into leadership?

Our next Early Team Leadership course starts next week, on Thursday 24th September, and we have one place left.

We’re offering 25% off the final place (Use code FINALPLACE), so if you’ve recently been appointed or promoted to a management or supervisory role, or you’re preparing to take on your first leadership role, this could be a great opportunity to get started.

The course is the first level of our three-stage Leadership Pathways programme and is designed to give new and aspiring leaders practical skills, ideas and confidence they can use straight away.

Across five sessions, we’ll cover:
• Building cohesive teams and understanding team dynamics
• Moving from team member to team leader, including some of the challenges that come with that transition
• Change, choice and challenge, and how leaders can maintain a healthy workplace culture
• Coaching skills to help you support and develop your team
• Practical leadership skills, including coaching, feedback and having a go through realistic scenarios

There’s a strong practical focus throughout the course, with team building activities, problem solving, case studies, scenarios, discussion, group work and guest speakers. You’ll also have time between sessions to try out some of the ideas with your own team and reflect on what works.

You’ll also get access to the Institute of Leadership’s My Leadership online learning portal, with additional activities and resources.

The course runs from 9.00am to 12.30pm on:
* Thursday 24th September
* Thursday 8th October
* Tuesday 3rd November
* Thursday 19th November
* Monday 30th November

On completion, you’ll receive an Institute of Leadership digital credential, an endorsed certificate of achievement and 12 months’ membership to the Institute of Leadership.

What will leadership look like in the future?

“The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again.”
That quote from Justin Trudeau in 2018 feels pretty relevant today.

The way we work is changing all the time, and as leaders, we’re having to respond to things that simply weren’t on the agenda five years ago. So, we’re inviting you to join us for our FREE webinar: The Future of Work on:

Tuesday 22nd September
11.00am

We’ll be talking about:
* What it really means to lead in a VUCA world
* How changes in the workplace could affect your industry
* The skills leaders need today that perhaps weren’t so important five years ago
* How you can prepare yourself and your team for what’s ahead

It’s not about predicting exactly what the future will look like. It’s about taking some time to think about what’s changing, what that means for us as leaders, and how we can be better prepared.

It’s free, it’s interactive, and we’d love you to join us.

Three days of health and safety training doesn't sound like everyone's idea of fun… but we do our best to change that!

Our IOSH Managing Safely courses are practical, relaxed and interactive, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss real workplace situations.

Our recent delegates had some lovely things to say about their experience, particularly about Donna and Ben and the way they deliver the course.

“They made the content easy to understand and kept the sessions interesting and interactive.”

If you’re looking for IOSH Managing Safely training for yourself or someone in your team, our next course is running 12th–14th October at QE Training Academy.

03/09/2026

The number of six to 17-year-olds turning up in significant distress for things like self-harm and eating disorders, or in emotional crisis, rose by 36% between 2019 and 2025, according to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health analysis.

As a parent you might find yourself asking:
• “Is this normal behaviour for their age?”
• “Should I be worried about this change?”

The truth is:
It’s not always easy to tell the difference between typical development and early signs of emotional struggle.

At QE Training Academy, our accredited Level 2 Youth Mental Health First Aid course helps parents:
- Build confidence in starting supportive conversations
- Understanding mental health in young people,
- A range of common mental health conditions in young people,

If this sounds helpful, join us on our next Level 2 Award in Youth Mental Health First Aid on:
Tuesday 22nd September
0900 - 1700
£90.00
