For over 60 years, VTCT has been at the forefront of vocational education. Today, we’re taking a bold step forward by introducing VTCT Skills—a unified brand that reflects our rich heritage and our exciting vision for the future.

This new identity brings VTCT, Skillsfirst, and Skills for Logistics under one banner. By combining our expertise across key sectors including early years, health and social care, and logistics, we hope to transform even more lives through skills.

A New Look for a New Era

As part of our rebrand, we’ve introduced a new colour palette and design that reflect our energetic approach. The vibrant style is intended to inspire and bring the forward momentum of VTCT Skills to life.

Our new era began at 1pm on Monday 11th November with the launch of our brand-new, fully responsive website, complete with enhanced navigation and search. You’ll see our other channels updated over the course of the following months, with our regulated content being re-branded from January 2025 onwards.

“Skills are the foundation that both learners and industries rely on, no matter how much the world changes. This rebrand isn’t just about a new name—it’s about reinforcing our commitment to equipping learners with the skills that endure, bringing real value to the industries they shape.”

Collette Lux, our Chief Commercial Officer added:

“We’re building on the strengths that have always defined us, while renewing our dedication to making a positive impact together. As we move forward, we invite you to be part of our journey with VTCT Skills —a brand built on a strong foundation, ready to shape the future of vocational skills.”
