And employers? • The employer view National Apprenticeship Service
Your employer and learning provider • Your employer provides your ‘on the job’ training and pays your wages. • You will work alongside them and learn from some of the best in the business. • A learning provider is usually a college or training organisation who • supports the rest of your training. You can complete this ‘off the job’ training on day release or over a number of days in a block. • Your Apprenticeship will cover all bases; the hands on experience and • the training in all other aspects of the job, so you’ll be the complete package!
