Free & Discounted Courses
When it comes to settling into civilian life, it’s not unknown for ex-servicemen and women to fall through the gaps. We are here to help!
Free & Discounted Courses
Forgotten Heroes Bursary
If you are finding it hard to resettle, have been forced to retire due to injury without a suitable resettlement package or are suffering from PTSD I would like to help.
I understand that a soldier’s scars from war are often hidden and our free and discounted training is for those who are struggling to find a new path.
This scheme was launched in June 2011 by Simon Weston OBE. Check out the video for more information.
Forgotten Heros Bursaries
We understand ex-forces
Our Managing Director Carl Bennett was forced to retire from the Met police SO19 Specialist firearms dept after 22 years of service due to serious illness, and so he understands how difficult it can be to change your career in the face of adversity.
That is why we have a genuine offer of a free place in our centre every week for someone either injured in recent military conflicts or one of our many Forgotten Hero as featured in the recent BBC documentary by Col Tim Collins highlighting ex-service personnel struggling to find their feet following their discharge from the armed forces.
Carl recently spent some time at Headley Court rehabilitation hospital and discovered he could do something practical to help service guys or girls with life after the military.
We are not a huge company and can’t offer free training to everyone that is eligible so we have to select and prioritise those able to take the free training, based on need, please call us for more info on how to apply.

The free places are intended for applicants who:
- Have been injured in service or suffer from PTSD.
- Are not already working in a trade such as electrics, plumbing, or renewable installation
- Who have been unable to find suitable work since leaving the army and are struggling to find a new career
- Generally, most eligible applicants are in situations where by they are being helped by organisations such as Civvy Street, The Royal British Legion, SSAFA, or the Poppy Factory.
Even if you are not eligible for this place give us a call at 01293 529777 and discuss your needs. We often will apply discounts for ex-servicemen and women at our discretion.
