Traineeships with ASTS (Southeast) Ltd

Our mission is to provide high quality, high impact training to individuals, helping them develop the skills and competence needed to have a better/new job and the opportunity to pursue further learning. We work in partnership with employers and local authority to bring together local opportunities for local people, funded locally. ASTS was one of the first Security/SIA training organisations to achieve the internationally recognised accreditation ISO 9001. It has since expanded its portfolio to include Workplace First Aid, Fire Safety training and Manual Handling all to national legislative standards. Mental Health Awareness and Equality, Diversity and Ethnicity courses have also been included which are increasingly vital in the workplace today.

We’re also proud to have received our Matrix accreditation this year (2019) for our Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG).

"We had an excellent experience with ASTS who facilitated two courses for us. The arranging was simple and Christine was professional and responsive throughout the process. Each course was delivered by a knowledgeable and engaging tutor with only positive comments from all in attendance. Thank you!" – The Historic Dockyard Chatham

Why would a young person want to apply for this opportunity?

To learn new skills, gain qualifications, valuable work experience in a fun and friendly environment! At the end of our traineeships participants are invited to interview for work.

"We would highly recommend ASTS for any business’s looking for any outside training. They were a pleasure to work with, coming in to the business to talk through how the training would work and also helping with any paperwork that needed filling in. The staff on the first aid training booked found it interesting, engaging and rewarding. They are all now confident administering first aid to any of our customers that require it." – Bridgewood Manor Hotel
