refresher training/courses?

(OP)
I'm new to this site, so forgive me if I've put this in the wrong area!

I have certificates/qualifications (English NVQs levels 2 & 3) in Manual Milling and Assembly/Fitting.

Been working in other sectors for 4 or 5 years, and trying to find a short (3 - 6 month) refresher course just to get familiar with the machines again.

I have asked at my local college, and they were reluctant due to the fact that I have the qualifications (they make their money awarding them), trying to do it on the job is difficult (businesses need results on the table), and I am completely stumped what to do now.

I'm in the UK (Yorkshire), any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.
