28th May 2009. AWARD RECEIVED
TheLightBulb has been awarded East of England Provider of the Month for March by the LSC at a ceremony today in Bury St Edmunds.
This prestigious award reflects the quality of training provision offered under the Train to Gain Funding Scheme by TheLightBulb. It was recognised that TheLightBulb supports their learners to achieve NVQs in a timely manner with exemplary success rates. They share best practice with other providers in the region and have excelled at providing Skills for Life qualifications to over 40% of their learners within the last 9 months.
TheLightBulb are one of few providers within the region who have maintained their contract and are still able to sign up new Train to Gain learners within the current Contract year.
Lesley Jones (Managing Director of TheLightBulb) said "how proud she was of the whole team for enabling the company to gain this award and would like to thank her clients for their continued support"

13th March 2009. RED NOSE DAY
Friday 13th is supposed to be unlucky for some, however for us it was the complete opposite. We decided as a company to dress up as Heroes and Villains for Comic Relief with staff and customers donating money and prizes for a raffle.
Throughout the day we sold raffle tickets to customers of local companies and many of them joined in the fun. It was a very enjoyable day with lots of laughter but most importantly we raised over £160 towards the Comic Relief Fund.
We would like to thank our client Props n Frocks of Battlesbridge Essex who offered all TheLightBulb staff a 10% discount on costumes.
7th July 2008. POPULAR ACCOUNTANCY PACKAGE IS ADDED TO PORTFOLIO
Our ever growing portfolio of training packages has now been enhanced by the addition of the industry standard Sage Line 50 Software.
As with all our courses, flexibility is the order of the day with training available in-house within our comfortable and well equipped training rooms or on customers’ own premises, in fixed time scales or ‘bite sized chunks’ and via the traditional training route or by consultancy.
Levels 1, 2 and 3 are offered so that all abilities can be catered for. Not only, that, but we can also deliver, if required, a short course on Sage report writing – a must for anyone finishing their AAT!
Call us now to find out more about this or any other course within our industry leading range of training or consultancy packages.
2nd July 2008. TheLightBulb receives a makeover
Following 5 years at the forefront of training in the East of England, we have now undertaken a huge change to our image.
Leading this change is our new and vastly improved web site. From here you can download profiles of all our courses, browse any employment opportunities we may have available, read all the latest news concerning us and much, much more. Coupled with our distinctive new logo and layout, we hope that finding the right course for you or your employees is an even easier experience.
We may have a vastly different look. However, some things never change - like our high quality training, helpful staff and our legendary learning experience.
Check back often for further developments and additions to our site.
