What is an
apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a work-based training programme focusing on the whole job, not just your individual skills, and will provide you with a set of vocational and functional skills and qualifications, including English, Maths and ICT.
Anyone over the age of 16 who is not in full-time education can apply to be an apprentice.
Apprenticeship qualifications are delivered in the workplace, and you will learn ‘on the job’ while receiving training from experienced staff. It can be an opportunity for both new and existing staff. Our apprenticeship opportunities normally last from 12 months to four years, depending on the type of programme.
If you are an existing member of staff you can enrol on a wide range of qualifications to suit your current role or career development needs, e.g. ILM Leadership & Management, AAT (Accountancy), Team Leading, Business Admin (from levels 2-4), Customer Service, Information, Advice & Guidance, CIPD (HR), Project Management, Health Care Support and ICT.
