What we want from our apprentices:

• To complete your apprenticeship in 3 – 4 years

What is the role of my training provider?

Your training provider has a key role to play in providing off-the-job training, assessing your progress towards achieving your qualifications and supporting you during your apprenticeship. We work closely with your training provider to ensure you continue to reach the standards required to achieve your qualifications.
