Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships allow you to work and study at the same time. You will combine practical training in your workplace with studying at college so that you can earn while you learn. We like to call it the best of both worlds! Ranging from level 2 to level 5, you can choose from trade apprenticeships, including plumbing and electrical installation, to hairdressing, customer service and many more.
Apprenticeships are available across a wide range of sectors and organisations; from local businesses to large national brands. Why study an apprenticeship with us?

Lewis Toft
Previous school: Hope Academy
College course: Level 2 Bricklaying Apprenticeship
Employer: Bloor Homes
After refining his skills on our full-time Level 1 Brickwork course after high school, Lewis secured a competitive apprenticeship position with Bloor Homes; a renowned house-building group with over 50 years of experience. When he first joined the college, Lewis was blown away by the support of his tutors and our Apprenticeships Team, and quickly found the perfect employer to begin his career in the construction sector. Lewis has been focusing on building his skills tool-kit as well as saving up to eventually move across the globe to start a business in Australia. He said:
“The college helped me to find and secure my apprenticeship. I love that every day I am doing something different. Everything I have learned will be useful on my career journey, whether I am on-site or in college.”
