EAL has withdrawn the approval of Trade Skills Development Limited as a training provider. This means the centre is no longer able to deliver EAL qualifications. We understand that this may be a worrying and uncertain situation for learners currently studying with Trade Skills Development Limited, and we are committed to supporting those who may be affected.
If you believe you are registered with Trade Skills Development and working towards an EAL qualification, you should first attempt to contact the centre directly via their website.
You should also complete the following form by 19th June 2026: Support for Learners Impacted by Training Provider Withdrawal. This will allow us to confirm whether you are registered with EAL, understand your current progress, and contact you directly with further information and support.
Once we have received your details, we will review your registration and, where applicable, provide a record of your progress and guidance on your available options. If you are not registered with EAL, we will signpost you to the relevant awarding organisation where possible. In the meantime, we strongly recommend that you download or save copies of any coursework, assessments, or e-portfolio evidence, as this may be important for your future progression.
