Established in 2009, Activfirst has grown into a trusted training and development provider, working with councils, national organisations, and businesses across the UK.
Recently acquired by the MGMT Group to complement their other businesses that support the leisure and community sector, we are now part of a wider family committed to growth, opportunity, and impact.
Who We Are
With over a decade of experience, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality apprenticeships, stand-alone online training, and safeguarding programmes. We’re proud to be recognised by Ofsted as a Good Provider, a mark of the quality and consistency we bring to every partnership.
What we offer
apprenticeships
We work with both levy-paying organisations and SMEs to make the most of apprenticeship funding. From helping larger employers maximise their levy to guiding smaller businesses through government funding support, we deliver programmes from Level 2 through to Level 5 that develop talent, save costs, and create long-term career pathways.
Courses
We offer tailored, on-site training for employers to provide fresh skills and knowledge to new and existing personnel. We also provide Online Courses & eLearning for flexible, stand-alone training available anytime, designed to give people the knowledge and skills they need quickly and effectively, without the commitment of a full apprenticeship.
Rugby League
Partnering with the Rugby Football League to deliver safeguarding training nationwide. Our blended approach combines online and Zoom-based learning with face-to-face delivery, ensuring every club and organisation can access the training they need while keeping participants safe and supported.
Why it matters
For organisations, investing in people means stronger teams, higher performance, and long-term success. But for individuals, it’s about more than qualifications, it’s about fulfilling their aspirations. For some, that might mean achieving a promotion and the pay rise that comes with it to support a better lifestyle. For others, it’s simply the chance to keep developing, growing in confidence, and moving forward in their career.
Trusted by
From local authorities to national organisations like the Rugby Football League and British Garden Centres, Activfirst is proud to be the partner of choice for those who want training and development done right.
