The Independent launches new Professional Training & Courses Site – powered by Findcourses.co.uk

Findcourses.co.uk partners with The Independent to become the UK's largest search site for Professional Training & Courses – a cooperation that aims to be the number one place people go to when looking for training and courses for skills development.

The cooperation between The Independent and Findcourses.co.uk, offers individuals and businesses alike the ability to search online through thousands of courses and training programmes for skills development, compare courses, read reviews and participate in forum discussions.

The Independent's Professional Training & Courses site was launched on Tuesday 4th May, and is powered by Findcourses.co.uk. This new site is found under The Independent's Education section and contains training and courses for professional development that are maintained and updated by Findcourses.co.uk. The Independent were interested in collaborating with Findcourses.co.uk as they recognised we had quickly positioned ourselves as the UK's leading search engine for skills development.

The Independent, which receives than 830,000 unique visitors, per month (Source: Site Catalyst Mar 10), believe their readers will benefit from Findcourses.co.uk’s well-established Professional Training & Courses search engine, and it is expected that there will be a lot of interest in the new site.

“Our vision is to help people in the UK to find the right training for their development and the collaboration with The Independent is a big step in the right direction towards achieving this”, says Findcourses.co.uk’s CEO, Fredrik Andersson.

With the government initiative Time to Train now in place, which grants staff from organisations with more than 250 employees the right to request time away from work to participate in training, it’s more important than ever to have a dedicated site which people can visit to find the right course for their development.
