Company History

Training for today, which is the trading name of Michaeljohn Training Limited started with just 20 hairdressing candidates in its first year and quickly expanded to 52 candidates in its second year.



In 1988 the company expanded its provision to include Care of the elderly and Customer Service qualifications followed by the introduction of Administration and Management qualifications.



In 2005 Training for today introduced its key stage 4 provision for school students in years 10 and 11. Growing from 30 students in its first year to almost 200 students this year.



In 2010 Training for today became one of the first work based learning providers in the local area to achieve the Training Quality Standard whilst also maintaining Matrix accreditation.
