Under Train to Gain, NVQ training at Level 3 is available to eligible candidates, provided their employer makes a contribution towards the cost of the training.

This contribution is dependent on where the organisation is situated. In 'Area 1', the employer contribution is £296+VAT. In 'Area 2', the employer contribution is £362+VAT. In 'Area 3', the employer contribution is £436+VAT.

Area 1 covers Berkshire, the Surrey and West Sussex fringe, Reading and West Berkshire.

Area 2 covers Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury Vale, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
