PCS Training is a specialist education provider based in Washington, Tyne and Wear, delivering vocational training and personal development programmes to the local community. The business focuses on aquatic-related qualifications and first aid certification, with a particular emphasis on engaging young people through structured courses.
The organisation primarily serves secondary school students (Years 10 and 11) who are exploring careers in the leisure and aquatics sector, alongside adults seeking professional development in swimming instruction and lifeguard roles. They also support Duke of Edinburgh participants requiring work experience placements.
What distinguishes PCS Training is their commitment to making quality training accessible and affordable. Their ethos centres on happiness, excellence, affordability, and respect—values reflected in every aspect of their service delivery. Rather than operating as a faceless corporate entity, they position themselves as a passionate local team genuinely invested in student outcomes and community wellbeing.
Their programmes combine practical, portfolio-based, and theoretical assessment methods, ensuring comprehensive skill development. The Year 10 Aquatic Introduction course introduces learners to pool rescue, first aid, and teaching assistance, whilst Year 11 programmes provide nationally recognised qualifications for aspiring swimming teachers and lifeguards. By integrating entry-level qualifications with authentic work experience opportunities, PCS Training bridges the gap between education and employment, enabling young people to develop genuine career pathways whilst contributing meaningfully to their local leisure facilities.
