Step Into Learning

Welcome to Step Into Learning

We are Step Into Learning, an Ofsted Good independent training provider, offering courses designed to open up new opportunities, or career pathways. Whether you’re a young person learning catering, hospitality or employability skills, or an adult looking to improve your digital skills, we’ve got something for you.

In September 2023, we launched our Step Into Hospitality Study Programme for school leavers, marking an exciting milestone.

We’re thrilled to expand our study programmes with Step Into Catering in 2024, and Step Into Skills in September 2025. Our programmes equip learners with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to advance in their personal and professional lives.
