Take control of your career

An apprenticeship is a fantastic way to kickstart your career or to add to your existing knowledge and skills, and in our opinion, the benefits that come with undertaking an apprenticeship, far outweigh those associated with going to university!

An Apprenticeship combines a full-time job with an element of study, allowing you to earn a nationally recognised, work-relevant qualification, whilst also gaining hands-on experience in your chosen role.

With a Smart Apprenticeship, you won’t need to attend college because all of 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 current, relevant and in line with your career aspirations by providing you with the knowledge and skills you need to develop throughout your working life.

We offer all Smart learners a flexible approach to education and training designed to suit your home and work commitments. In return for hard work, you will undertake a qualification that is challenging and rewarding.

With a Smart Apprenticeship, in addition to your studying, we’ll also help you with the following:

" I have just competed my Level 5 coaching apprenticeship and had the pleasure of being support by Gill! Gill was so approachable, supportive, and kind throughout and was on the end of the phone or email whenever I needed her! She helped me stay focused and I was thrilled when I passed my end point assessment! "
