Specialist Support

Additional training courses that may be specific to the industry that you want to work in that will give you the edge above others, or may be more generalist that will help you bridge the gap to your next course.

Assistance can be provided to advanced apprentices who are either struggling to complete their current frameworks and just need that extra little help and support or those who have completed an advance apprentice and have not yet managed to secure suitable employment or a place within Higher Education.

We can also offer sector specific work placements for a 12 week period that may give you that all important experience within the industry that you want to work in and will help you in gaining employment in the future.

For a friendly chat about any of these areas of support please contact Phil Cooper on 01325 503210 and get the edge!
