Skills Office Network supported us with our re-application to the RoATP. We needed expert help as we’re quite new to delivering levy-funded qualifications and needed to ensure full ESFA compliance.
From initial contact to the project itself, they were a pleasure to work with, highly experienced and knowledgeable, and provided much needed guidance.
We could not have achieved the success without their fantastic support and I’d highly recommend their services.

Skills Office Network are an absolute treasure. They are professionals, highly skilled and highly knowledgeable. I have never worked with a company who not only are professionals but also treat clients like family. James Neilands and his colleagues held our hands through very difficult times as an organisation and we were able to come through to the other end with their support, professionalism and coaching. Every interaction with Skills Office Network is one that is valuable in the sense that they impart so much knowledge.
They are highly skilled and knowledgeable in managing apprenticeship levy monthly returns, quality assurance, compliance management, the list goes on. Their systems of working are excellent and one that I greatly believe in. They have taken the stress out of managing the apprenticeship levy returns and freed us up to do that which we do best.
Averee limited is glad to keep the working relationship with the Skills Office Network and look forward to many more successful years of working together.
AVEREE TRAINING
The service provided by Skills Office Network for our successful RoAPT main provider application was exceptional. There was a clear plan and clarity of the requirements needed for the submission. The support provided did not end once the application was submitted but has continued with an implementation plan to ensure that we will be able to hit the ground running with our apprenticeship delivery. Their expertise and knowledge is first rate and we would highly recommend their professional service.’ Adam Kiani , Chief Executive
PT ACADEMY
Skills Office Network were instrumental in supporting us on our successful RoATP Main provider application. The post application review process with SON enabled us to identify key areas that we would need to develop, to hit the ground running as a main apprenticeship provider. After a review of our options we decided to utilise Skills Office Network’s 360 Support Package. This provided us with an integrated MIS / E-portfolio, dedicated relationship manager and access to a wealth of experience in apprenticeships. Would recommend this service to providers out there. It has enabled us to focus on what we do best which is high quality delivery whilst having the support mechanism from SON to guide and upskill us in other areas

A massive thank you to James Neilands, James Billingham and the Skills Office Network team who have supported us through the onboarding and enrolment of 41 apprentices (so far!) onto Bishop Fleming's brand new level 7 Accountancy Apprenticeship. It's a first for us since being approved to deliver our own apprenticeships, and after a challenging summer, and despite having to phone at least 6 times a day (usually to correct my errors), you both kept your cool. Thanks for the call this afternoon to let me know we were on track - keep up the great work!
BISHOP FLEMING
I joined my current employer in November 2020 as the apprenticeship manager. My role is to implement the programme and deal with everything apprenticeships and without Skills Office Network supporting me, things would have been completely different. They have been fantastic, especially Matthew and Jenn, in the support they have provided me in ensuring that we get everything right. They have been by my side every step of the way and long may it continue
