The Axis Academy, services contractor Axis Group’s learning and development business division, has opened a head office in Sidcup, Kent. The company says that its training rooms enable it to expand its training and development. The Axis Academy was set up in 2017, as a learning and development function to all Axis Group employees.
Since 2017, it’s trained more than 3,000 people across 300-plus courses, and is a training provider to external customers including McDonalds Restaurants, National Careers Service and Newave Education Services. The Axis Academy is able to offer courses face-to-face and on its e-learning platform.
Naomi Austen, Axis Group HR and Learning Director says: “We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality training courses that are often nationally recognised, providing regulated qualifications or are accredited under the CPD accreditation service.’’
Duaine Taylor, Axis’ Head of Learning and Development, pictured, says the Academy operates in a number of locations across the UK to meet business demands. He says: “Whilst there are no plans to change this style of delivery, we are extremely pleased to create a hub and a place we can call ‘home’ in Kent. The state-of-the-art dedicated learning and development environment will allow us to extend the number of courses delivered across London and the South,” he says. “This is a big step forward in the Academy’s growth plans for 2020.
“We are also pleased to have added a suite of Mental Health First Aid courses to our portfolio and have trained over 100 learners within the course’s first two months.”
