Thinking about an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships offer a dynamic way to gain an accredited qualification while developing hands-on skills directly in the workplace.
Typically, apprentices spend one day a week at college and the remainder of their time in a professional role.
To ensure success, every apprentice is supported by a dedicated Training Advisor- a college mentor who monitors both academic progress and overall wellbeing.
With National Apprenticeship Week approaching in February, we are looking forward to celebrating the incredible achievements of our students and the vital role played by our employer partners.
