What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are fantastic qualifications that allow you to gain real-world experience in the industry of your choosing. Each Apprenticeship, has different levels which provide new and enhanced learning experiences equipping you with greater skills and knowledge. They offer amazing opportunities to progress your career.
Apprenticeships can be acquired at any time in your career. Whether you’re a senior manager or someone just starting out in a new sector, there’s always more to learn!

Apprenticeships (also known as Regulated Qualifications Framework) replaced NVQ’s (National Vocational Qualification) in 2015, to widen the scope of knowledge needed by students.

Investing in You!
We want our teams to be a real success! Our specialist in-house Academy provides excellent training to support you be the best in your job role, and your career development with us.
Social care apprenticeships are a nationally recognised qualification that can equate to five GCSE’s or a degree, depending on the apprenticeship level chosen. If completed in under two years the apprenticeship is free for our team members.
Portfolios or areas of learning are completed for each section of your apprenticeship and consist of witness testimony’s, written answers to questions and your personal reflections. Whilst some sections are mandatory to completing your apprenticeship, others are selected by yourself, so you can shape your learning experience. At the end you’ll sit an exam and present your work. Success means you have the options to progress your career and apply for more senior roles with us or simply enjoy greater knowledge on specific areas of social care.
If you have a C or above at GCSE in Maths and English, you’re not required to do a ‘Functional Skills’ exam. Don’t worry if you don’t, our amazing teams are here to support you every step of the way!
During your induction training with us, you’ll complete your Care Certificate and mandatory training where some learnings cross reference with sections from the apprenticeship programme and you’ll also be asked to provide evidence of your Care Certificate. This means you’ll already be ahead of the game!
