The Links Training & Consultancy is an independent training consultancy founded by Emma Khan — a passionate advocate for workforce development who believes every employer deserves access to the best funded training available.
We work alongside employers across the UK, cutting through the complexity of funded training to deliver real, measurable results for your team.
Independent training consultancy helping UK employers access funded training, apprenticeships and the LDSS scheme.
With years of experience navigating the complex landscape of funded training, Emma founded The Links Training & Consultancy with a simple mission: to make high-quality, funded training accessible to every employer who needs it.
Emma's hands-on, employer-first approach sets her apart. She doesn't just point you in the right direction — she manages the entire process, from initial consultation through to programme completion, ensuring you get maximum value from every pound of available funding.
Training Consultant & LDSS Specialist with years of experience helping employers unlock funded training.
Everything we do is rooted in a genuine commitment to helping employers and individuals get the training they deserve.
We work for you, not the provider. Our advice is always independent, always in your best interest.
No hidden costs, no confusing jargon. We explain every step clearly so you always know where you stand.
We measure our success by yours — funded training delivered, qualifications achieved, teams developed.
Emma works directly with every client. You get the consultant, not a call centre.
Four routes to a better trained, better funded workforce.
From Level 2 to Level 5, we support employers across 40+ programmes. We handle everything from finding the right provider to managing the funding. Levy gifting support available.
The LDSS provides Health & Social Care employers with up to £400,000 per year. Emma is an LDSS specialist who knows how to maximise your allowance — overseas workers eligible.
When funded routes don't fit, we deliver bespoke commercial training tailored to your needs. No restrictions, fast turnaround, flexible to combine with funded programmes.
Mandatory training for all health and social care staff in England. Named in memory of Oliver McGowan, it ensures your workforce can provide safe, appropriate care for people with a learning disability and autistic people.
Unlike training providers who can only offer their own programmes, we work independently — which means we always recommend what's right for you, not what's easiest for us to sell.
Our consultancy is completely free and no-obligation. We assess your needs, identify the most suitable funded routes, and manage the process from start to finish. You focus on running your business — we handle the rest.
