Information For Employers

An apprentice is employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification, usually for one day a week at one of our campuses or training centres. This course meets Apprenticeship Standards and your apprentice will have the knowledge and skills to either succeed in their chosen career or progress to the next apprenticeship level. Apprentices follow an approved study programme, which means they’ll gain a nationally-recognised qualification at the end of their apprenticeship. They’ll study a broad range of skills and knowledge that can be applied to their professional practice.
