About us
Training Link (TL) is a basic skills community learning centre in Somers Town in the London Borough of Camden, close to the British Library.
The courses we run can help people find work, or improve their basic skills in English and using computers. All our courses are free. Our main funders are Camden Council (CIL), the National Lottery (Awards for All), The Charles Hayward Foundation, The Fitzdale Trust and the Crick Community Fund. We also receive support from the London Borough of Camden.
We have an Open Day at the start of each term to enrol new learners – please see the News page for details. Anyone is welcome at our weekly Free Internet Cafe and Drop-Ins on Tuesday afternoons from 2pm to 5pm, and on Thursday afternoons from 2pm to 5pm.
We have a meeting / training room available for hire in the evenings and at weekends. Please email director@traininglink.org.uk for more information.
Training Link history
The organisation was established in 1985 as Women’s Training Link to provide learning activities for women who had limited education and training. In 1998 the organisation re-registered as Training Link, extending its services to both men and women. By then it had also moved to Somers Town from its original base in Holborn. In 2010 we celebrated our 25th anniversary – see photo below. In 2015 we were 30 years old, and had a concert with a local choir and jazz band to celebrate.
Our client group are predominately people who have had limited access to mainstream provision and who need help to move into the labour market.
Who We Are
