DISCOVER

An apprenticeship is a training program that combines on-the-job learning with classroom instruction. It is a way for individuals to gain practical skills and knowledge in a specific industry while working alongside experienced professionals. 

During an apprenticeship, learners work under the guidance of a mentor or supervisor, who provides them with hands-on training. They learn the skills needed through real-world work experiences, completing tasks and projects related to the chosen sector.

ACHIEVE

Apprenticeships are typically structured courses that last for a specific duration, ranging from 12-24 months. Throughout the course, apprentices earn a wage as they gain experience and progress through the training.

At the end of the apprenticeship, apprentices often need to pass a final exam or assessment called EPA (End Point Assessment) to demonstrate their competence in the sector. After completing the program successfully, apprentices will receive a nationally recognised qualification which can enhance their career prospects and serve as proof of their skills.

We offer career pathways and progression from level 2 to level 5.

I appreciate all the contributions Aspiration Training has provided me. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people who have helped me achieve my qualification and made my experience memorable.
