Our Advanced, Higher and Degree apprenticeships in Engineering, Science and Business Administration combine practical experience with theory, with assessment in the workplace, online assessment and college-based learning one day a week. All of our Engineering Apprenticeship Co-ordinators are from Industry, so they know what they’re talking about, so it’s no surprise that since 2001, we have successfully trained well over 5,000 apprentices, in the fields of engineering, science and business. We have a wealth of experience developing programmes that meet the employer needs in terms of delivering the skills and experience required and are proud of the relationships we have developed with businesses in the North East who keep coming back to us every year – organisations like British Engines, Coca Cola, Express Engineering, Komatsu, BAE Systems and Newcastle University. It is an absolute priority for us that their investment delivers a successful worker – even a future leader – and we will deliver that same high standard for you as well, through a free, effective and simple recruitment service. We can advertise, using Government websites and social media platforms to help you find the right person for your organisation so you can get on with expanding your business. Our Business Support Services Team can also offer support with levy queries such as how to set up das systems, payment calculations, training requirements and the new apprenticeship standards
