We’re smart casual in the office, informal in how we work together and we are looking for people starting out or changing their careers with diverse skills, backgrounds and ideas to join us.
We are passionate about learning and our Apprenticeship Programmes are a great way to start your career as a Training Administrator, whether you have just completed your studies at school or looking for a change in career direction we’d love to hear from you.

Our programmes are structured to help you unlock your potential and you’ll receive full support for your studies, including 20% of your hours on ‘off the job’ learning. Throughout the qualification, you will attend training, have mentor visits and build a portfolio of evidence whilst on the apprenticeship before going through to gateway and end point assessment (EPA). The EPA consists of a showcase (portfolio of evidence), an observation and a professional discussion. The learning element will be approximately 15 months including an End Point Assessment.
