If you have found achieving qualifications a challenge in the past, we can offer a wide range of resources and learning strategiesthat can be tailored to suit you so that we can help you gain your qualifications. So if you are already in employment and want to gain qualifications, then an Apprenticeship could be the right option for you.
There are lots of benefits to doing an Apprenticeship.
Doing an Apprenticeship means you can earn while you learn and learn in a way that is best suited to you – learning through hands on experience on the job, and that leads to nationally recognised qualifications.
What type of Qualifications?
You’ll get a package of qualifications when you finish your Apprenticeship which are recognised by employers, anywhere in the country. Apprenticeships include the following elements:
* An appropriate work-based National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 2
* A technical qualification related to the NVQ
* Key Skills qualifications - communication and application of number at Level 1
* Other qualifications as specified by the particular occupation.
What are the entry requirements?
Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged 19 and over. You may or may not already have some qualifications. You will need to show that you are committed, and aware of your responsibilities to both yourself and the company who employ you. You also need to be happy to work as part of a team and individually, and be able to use your own initiative.
What are the prospects?
You will be trained in the skills that both you and your employer need; and gives you choices in your career. When you’ve completed your apprenticeship, you can carry on working, maybe get promoted or go on to further education.
If you decide to change jobs, you can take your skills and qualifications with you.
Will I receive any support during training?
As a training provider, we will make sure you have a mentor. Their job is to ensure that your training fits your personal requirements, offers the skills needed for the job and satisfies national standards. They will also be there to help you through any difficult times.
