About e-achieve

e-achieve was originally founded in 2008 to address the IT skills gap in the employment market. In recent years, we have seen how it can change lives for the better, helping ordinary people gain confidence in themselves and opening up new employment opportunities.  

As traditional industries have faded away and more of the work we now do involves a computer, in recent years, employers have begun to demand knowledge of IT for the majority of job roles.  The way in which we find work and apply for vacancies has changed too with most job vacancies in the UK advertised on the internet.

In 2012 e-achieve was nominated for the Best Company in the Service Business Sector at the North Tyneside Business of the Year Awards; and in March 2013 we received the Matrix Accreditation, which is the UK quality standard for information, advice and guidance (IAG) services. It is a challenging, outcome-based Standard that is not only a benchmark of the quality of services an organisation provides, but a business improvement tool.

Working in partnership with local colleges, councils, Job Centre Plus and many other organisations e-achieve offers training throughout the North East & Sheffield to help equip individuals with the skills needed to get back to work.  We recognise that everyone is different and so we can tailor a learning programme to individual requirements.       

We have accredited courses available at all levels so whether you've never used a computer in your life or are at an advanced level e-achieve will have a learning solution to help develop your skills and enhance your career prospects.
