EMA Training Ltd

They run their courses through apprenticeship, traineeship and Learner Loan schemes for local businesses and residents, providing the entire recruitment process so that the business has a one contact experience from the beginning of wanting to find an apprentice through to the learner being trained and ultimately qualified. Their centre is also open for external AAT students to come and sit their exams here in the IT Suite, in complete exam conditions, which is very popular with distance learning providers as most do not have this facility in their offices.

EMA Training have been trading for over 3 and a half years and Tracey works at the business full-time. She employs 4 members of staff – 3 of which are apprentices; 1 in social media and 2 studying the AAT accountancy qualification. The final member of staff is supported on a part time contract that fits into child care requirements.

After finishing secondary school, she started an apprenticeship in an office studying AAT and after several years of hard work and persistence, became a Finance Manager. After years of being in practice, she decided to put her skills to better use and help others by going in to the teaching side of the AAT qualifications. She is the tutor for the office based qualifications that they provide, believing that their USP is that they have a small, individual business that focuses on the learner and the personalised service they receive.
