What is an Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship is a framework of qualifications that includes an National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), Technical Certificate that incorporates the underpinning knowledge of the occupational area the employee is working in as well as upgrading both Maths & English skills.

Why should my staff do an Apprenticeship?

·         Demonstrates commitment to staff development

·         Improves staff retention

Apprenticeships are the proven way to train your workforce.   Apprenticeships can make your organisation more effective, productive and competitive by addressing your skills gaps directly, even in these uncertain economic times.

Apprenticeships deliver real returns to your bottom line. In a recent survey undertaken on behalf of the National Apprenticeship Service, the majority of employers said that Apprenticeships helped them to improve productivity and to be more competitive.
