Whether you are in a nursery, primary school or secondary school, we have programmes for you that are offered in a friendly, flexible way that fits in with your daily routines. There are two options to fund your training programmes:

  • Apprenticeships where training takes place within the existing job role
  • Advanced Learning Loans are an alternative way to support learning, whereby the learner borrows the money for the qualification they need

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeship funding remains attractive, either through the apprenticeship levy, or 95% funded for those with a payroll of less than £3M. Our offer includes:

Have you considered Industry Placements?

Early Years employers tell us how difficult it is to get good staff. This is where we can help. Our T Level students who attend two-year programmes (the equivalent of three A Levels) need to be placed in an early years setting for a minimum of 750 hours.

This substantial amount of time gives you the benefit of nurturing your future talent over the longest interview period!
