Delivered Where It Matters Most
Equipath is a multi-sector peripatetic training organisation deploying specialist tutors, assessors, and industry practitioners directly to you — whether you are a salon, school, college, employer, prison, care home, women's refuge, rehabilitation centre, or community organisation.
Equipath was founded on a simple but powerful belief — that expert, high-quality training should reach everyone, regardless of where they are or what barriers stand in their way.
We are a peripatetic training organisation. We do not have a fixed building. Instead, we deploy a growing team of qualified tutors, assessors, and industry specialists directly to our learners — in salons, schools, colleges, workplaces, prisons, care homes for looked-after children, women's refuge sites, rehabilitation centres, and pupil referral units.
Founded and led by an experienced FE and HE educator and business leader with over 19 years of teaching experience and a decade of running a training academy, Equipath combines deep sector knowledge with a genuine commitment to social impact.
Equipath is committed to reaching learners in the settings most overlooked by mainstream training provision. We work with organisations across the public, private, and voluntary sectors to bring expert, accredited training directly to the people who need it most.
Equipath delivers nationally recognised qualifications and professional CPD across six specialist sectors. All programmes are delivered peripatetically by qualified practitioners — at a location that works for you.
We are not a generic training provider. Every aspect of Equipath is built around the learners, communities, and organisations that are most in need of expert provision — and least served by traditional routes.
Equipath is 100% peripatetic. Our tutors and assessors travel to your location — your salon, school, workplace, prison, or community space. No travel costs, no disruption, no barriers for your learners.
Every programme is delivered by a qualified practitioner with genuine industry experience. We recruit sector specialists — not generalist trainers — to ensure the highest quality teaching in every session.
We actively deliver into prisons, care homes for looked-after children, women's refuges, rehabilitation centres, and PRUs — bringing qualifications and opportunity to learners who have the most to gain.
From hairdressing and aesthetics to AI, cyber security, construction, and teacher training — Equipath's multi-sector curriculum means we can serve a wider range of learners than almost any other peripatetic provider.
Equipath operates with a full compliance framework including internal quality assurance, safeguarding policies, equality and diversity procedures, and a site suitability assessment for every delivery location.
Training is not just about qualifications — it is about changing life trajectories. Equipath measures its success not just in certificates awarded, but in barriers removed, confidence built, and futures transformed.
Whether you want to refer learners, subcontract delivery, commission training for a specialist setting, or build a long-term community partnership — Equipath has a route for you.
