Retail Skills Academy – The Store
The Leeds Retail Skills Academy was launched in September 2009, and the purpose built training facilities (The Store), are located in The Leeds Shopping Plaza. It is a one-stop-shop for skills development, for both current and future retailers.
Through the Academy, supported by Leeds City College and the National Skills Academy (NSA) for Retail, a range of qualifications and accredited programmes, including diplomas and apprenticeships, are delivered. It also provides bespoke courses for employers and their staff, and non-accredited programmes for career changers and those thinking of starting their own business.
The National Skills Academy has been hailed as a key way to help retailers to develop their staff’s potential, improve their performance and prepare for the economic upturn.
As part of the national network, we offer a range of services including the Diploma in Retail Business, Fashion Retail, Retail Management, pre-employment training, Apprenticeships, Mary Portas Master Classes, retail customer service programmes and retail work experience opportunities.
