These training providers offer the eligible mandatory short courses shown below. All of these training providers have undergone our quality assessment process and as such funding can be claimed from the Brokerage to assist with the cost of these qualifications. Please be aware that funding can only be claimed for courses that have passed our quality assessment process and are outlined below. It may be that a provider may also offer short courses which we have not assessed and therefore we would be unable to offer funding.
Please note that many training providers will offer other courses which are not part of the QCF structure nor one of the eligible short courses. These courses have not been quality assessed as we currently do not hold funding towards the cost of these qualifications.

Our portfolio is constantly expanding so please always ask as we may be in the process of updating our profile on the website.
We currently access funding via the SFA for single vocational qualifications, eg: diplomas, apprenticeships and adult apprenticeships, however, we have become acutely aware that the current funding rules often excludes many who are employed from accessing funding to develop all important qualifications that support both individual and company development and in some cases statutory requirements, that is why we consider the Suffolk Brokerage has an important role to play in assisting businesses and individuals working within the care sector to access funding that meets their development and statutory needs and we are pleased to be an accredited partner.
We can help employers to identify specific training needs and design bespoke training to meet individual needs.

Cameo contact details and information Read information >>>
Cameo is a Matrix accredited training company who specialize in qualifications for Skills for Life (Adult Maths and English), ESOL and IT.
We run learndirect centres in Felixstowe, Central Ipswich and within Ipswich and Woodbridge Jobcentres. We are also a provider for the Suffolk Stepping-stones hub and deliver tutor led on/off site English and ESOL training.
Our centres are approved by OCR, BCS and Edexcel and we are proud of our 98% success rate for Skills for Life test passes.
Services to the Brokerage
Cameo are able to offer one to one or group based ESOL training tailored to the needs of the individual as decided upon by the employer and the employee. Our CELTA 5 and PTLLS qualified tutor will carry out initial assessments using the BKSB ESOL initial assessment. This tool maps fully to the DIUS ESOL core curriculum and covers assessment in reading, writing and listening from Entry Level 1 to Level 2. Cameo offers the choice of two training routes, the first based on a personal learning goal, and the second resulting in a qualification .The non accredited route (personal learning goal) can incorporate learning aims such as interpreting health and safety signs, completing time sheets, incident and accident report forms or producing concise hand over notes. The tutor will draw up individual learning plans which focus on the achievement of a goal that the employer and the employee agree is beneficial.
The qualification route focuses on raising the employee's level of literacy to a level above that already held. Following on from the BKSB initial assessment the learner will then be able to complete the diagnostic assessments to give a fuller picture of where their specific skills gaps are. We are accredited with EDEXCEL to test for ESOL for work, and ESOL at entry and level 1 and 2 (Speaking and listening, Reading, Writing). On completion of either of these routes Cameo would welcome the employee to continue their learning through our learndirect provision. They would have the opportunity to progress to level 2 in literacy and numeracy and to obtain a qualification in ICT (subject to meeting funding requirements).
We are able to offer off-site provision at either of our centres if appropriate and can arrange flexible delivery to accommodate workplace shift patterns.
