<strong>Apprenticeships</strong> are great! The learners gain skills<br />

that “ can’t be taught in college. They come to college with<br />

experience of the hands-on techniques that are part of the<br />

course and develop the theory within the lessons during<br />

their day release from their workplace.<br />

They are motivated to learn as it means they can develop<br />

faster within their role at work and this sometimes<br />

means bonuses and pay rises. We find the learners on<br />

<strong>Apprenticeships</strong> develop faster than our full time learners<br />

because they get to use the theory they learn with us in the<br />

workplace in a practical setting.<br />
