Upskill current and new staff teaching staff through apprenticeships

Building a professional development pathway for your team to learn and grow, helps retain valuable employees, fill skills gaps, and develop a highly skilled workforce tailored to the specific needs of your school, Multi-Academy Trust, or organisation.

The agreed structured training programme provides a practical and comprehensive learning experience while ensuring your employees have the skills to meet the changing demands of the education sector.

We support a range of employers, including schools,  sports coaching companies, school sports partnerships and football foundations.

By using your apprenticeship levy as a CPD budget schools can maximise opportunities to upskill and develop current staff of all ages and levels of experience for free, or train a new apprentice member of your team.
