An Apprenticeship combines a full-time job with an element of study, allowing you to earn a nationally recognised qualification whilst also gaining hands-on experience in your chosen role. With a Smart Apprenticeship, all your learning can be done virtually, from home or at your place of work, with one of our expert Learning and Development Tutors.
We are here to ensure that your learning is flexible, relevant and in line with your career aspirations by providing you with the knowledge and skills you need to develop throughout your working life.
With a Smart Apprenticeship, we’ll also help you with the following:
Did you know you can build a loyal, skilled and dependable workforce by upskilling your existing staff – resulting in improved productivity and reduced staff turnover? We deliver coaching skills so both your line manager and learner gain from the Apprenticeship experience.
For example, an experienced employee may be keen to get a formal qualification in their specialist area. Or perhaps someone has the aptitude and drive to learn something new and progress into a different role?
There are courses from level 2 to level 5 so you’ll be able to find the right Apprenticeship that suits the learning and development needs of your employees. Our courses are designed by employers so they reflect the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours that your business needs.
Are you are Levy or non-Levy employer? We’ll help guide you through everything Levy related and provide you with complete support for your DAS account administration or set up.

Our star of the month! We recently asked Kacey Bullions, who is currently studying for her Level 3 Payroll qualification, if her Apprenticeship journey has exceeded her expectations. Here’s what she had to say…
“Since joining Enterprise Mobility to undergo my Apprenticeship, I have been truly amazed by my growth and development. I have enjoyed every minute of this journey and, with all the guidance from Enterprise Mobility and Smart Training, I have gained the confidence to process two payroll groups! This has been a significant opportunity for me, as it shows my hard work and dedication is paying off.
I am hugely grateful to Megan, Emily and Sarah for their invaluable support and guidance throughout the different units in Payroll. The Smart Training team are amazing, and I highly recommend them for anyone seeking an Apprenticeship!”
