    We provide pre-apprenticeship courses that enable learners to develop the skills and confidence to thrive in the workplace.

    We work in partnership with The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) — the employer-led skills body for the UK’s engineering construction industry — to offer students a scholarship programme that allows them to get a taste for what an engineering career can offer. 

    We also deliver specialised engineering vocational training to students between the ages of 16 and 17 via our schools programme. This programme gives students vital, hands-on experience, with many of them progressing into advanced apprenticeships.

    Find out more by visiting our pre-apprenticeships page.

    You’re committing to between three-and-a-half and four years when you register for one of our apprenticeships.

    Our courses make learners industry-ready. Not only do they have a job opportunity from the moment they register for one of our courses, but they also earn as they learn, which allows them to focus on their long-term goals. We tailor our courses to the learner’s employer, equipping them with the most relevant, applicable skills before they enter full-time employment. Our results are far higher than the national average and well over half of our staff have completed apprenticeships, so they know exactly what each learner is going through.
