We’re Becoming The Opportunity Provider Ltd in January

In January, our legal name will change from HIT Training Ltd to The Opportunity Provider Ltd (TOP).

Nothing will change in how you work with us.

Our sector brands – HIT Training, Connect2Care and EDN Training – will continue as normal. Your trainers, support teams and programmes remain exactly the same, and our company number and UKPRN remain unchanged.

This change simply aligns our legal entity with the full breadth of our work across hospitality, health and social care, early years, funeral services, leadership and professional assessment, while reducing confusion created by our current naming structure.

You may notice our new name appearing in systems such as The Apprenticeship Service, Ofsted and ESFA platforms after their next scheduled update. This will have no impact on your contract, funding or apprentices.

If you need any further information, our team will be happy to help.
