Apprenticeship Training

The National Apprenticeships programme is designed to offer individuals an opportunity to gain a qualification whilst working within a business environment. The mixture of on and off the job learning ensures apprentices develop the skills that work best for your business. Taking on an apprentice can make your organisation more effective, productive and competitive by addressing your skills gaps. Apprentices are also found to be highly motivated, eager to learn, flexible and loyal. By “growing your own” you ensure that your apprentice has the practical skills and qualifications your business needs now and in the future.

At Plymouth College of Art we offer a wide range of apprenticeship provision for businesses operating within the Creative and Cultural sectors. Training and assessment can be made flexible to fit the needs of your businesses and much of it can be conducted through work based learning/assessment. We hold contracts for national initiatives enabling some of our apprenticeships to be fully funded or subsidised. We are also able to offer a wide range of support from advertising a vacancy to training your apprentice.
