How the Programmes Work

Your learning will be made up of classroom-style workshops which will be delivered by one of our experienced Trainers. These are held regionally so you will not have to travel far from your usual place of work.

When you’re back in your usual place of work, you will have an online portfolio of work to make your way through and complete. Your manager will support you to do this but you will also be assigned an Apprentice Mentor who will frequently come to visit you and check up on your progress.

All of our apprenticeships are structured around a set of modules that will help build the skill set required to be a great team member or leader, and set a great foundation for future development within our business
