About Us

Our Story

Elevate (formerly Achieve Group) was established in 2014 with a clear purpose: to give young people a genuine alternative when mainstream education isn't working for them. Over the past decade, we have grown from a small provision into a trusted training centre with sites in Bury and Warrington, supporting hundreds of learners across the North West.

From the beginning, our founding belief has remained the same — every young person deserves access to a learning environment that understands them, challenges them, and helps them thrive.

A Supportive Environment

At Elevate Training, our centres in Bury and Warrington provide a supportive learning environment where students receive care, guidance, and meaningful investment in their education. This approach is designed to be transformative for learners. Our alternative provision programmes support students aged 11 to 16, with clear progression pathways into post-16 opportunities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to widen the learning and vocational training options available to young people today. We do this by providing the best possible learning environment — one that is practical, inclusive, and tailored to each individual’s needs and ambitions.

We believe education should open doors, not close them. Whether a learner comes to us disengaged from school, in need of extra support, or simply looking for a more hands-on path to employment, we are here to help them find their way forward.

What Makes Us Different

We work with learners on a one-to-one basis, building trust and understanding what motivates each person. Our courses span automotive, construction, hair & beauty, and functional skills, cooking — all designed to lead somewhere real, whether that’s an apprenticeship, employment, or further education.

We work closely with referring schools, local authorities, families, and the learners themselves to build a clear, agreed plan with the right support in place at every step.

A Student’s Perspective

One learner said it was the only place he has ever settled in and fit in.

From Our Students

My experience at Elevate Training was superb and eye opening. 
They helped me improve my communication and mechanics skills.
