My name is Emma Khan, and I founded The Links Training & Consultancy because I kept seeing the same thing happen: employers missing out on thousands of pounds of available training funding simply because they didn’t know it existed, or found the process too complicated to navigate alone.
That’s exactly what we’re here to fix.
What we do
We’re an independent training consultancy — which means we work for you, not for any specific provider or funding body. Our job is to find the right training route for your business, handle the complexity, and make sure you’re not leaving money on the table.
We work across three main areas:
Apprenticeships
Fully funded programmes from Level 2 to Level 5, across all sectors
LDSS Funding
Up to £400,000 available for Health & Social Care employers
Commercial Training
Bespoke, flexible training with no funding restrictions
What to expect from this page
This news section is where I’ll be sharing things that matter to employers and individuals trying to access training in the UK. That includes:
Government updates — apprenticeship levy changes, LDSS scheme announcements, funding rule changes. I’ll cut through the official language and tell you what it actually means for your business.
Sector news — what’s changing in Health & Social Care, Leadership & Management, Digital, and beyond.
Practical guides — how to access levy transfers, what the difference between levy and non-levy employers means in practice, how to get the most from funded training.
Real examples — stories from employers we’ve worked with and the difference the right training has made.
One thing I want you to know
Everything we do is completely free for employers. We don’t charge for our consultancy, and we don’t have a hidden agenda to push you towards a particular provider. Our success is measured by whether your training delivers real results — and whether you come back to us next time.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your business is eligible for funded training, or if you’re a levy-paying employer not fully using your pot, now is the right time to find out. A 15-minute call with me is all it takes to get clarity.
Welcome to The Links Training & Consultancy. I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you.
