About Us

The idea of Ignition Training Centre was to establish something that gave people confidence and skills in a real work setting and gain experience, an industry recognized qualification, something for their CV and a reference. The fact is it does so much more than that.

We found that our service users (disabled, ex-offenders, people with addiction or mental health issues often haven’t done well in education. Learning for them is much more positive experience in a practical setting coupled with support through their other issues, done through a network of specialist providers i.e. debt advice, counselling, addiction specialists etc.
