Apprenticeships

CMS Vacancies

Apprenticeship Overview

Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications and workplace experience. As an employee, you can earn as you learn and you gain practical skills from the workplace.

Apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, away from the immediate pressures of their job, apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications.

The minimum salary is £3.70 per hour, however, many apprentices earn significantly more.

Assessment

As an apprentice you will be working for a minimum of 30 hours per week.

Most work towards the apprenticeship will be done during work hours.

You will be assessed via a range of professional discussions, work products and worksheets.

If maths, English and ICT are required by the framework, these will be completed via online testing.

Learning

Our assessors visit apprentices every month for a period of 1-2 hours in which training and assessment will take place towards the achievment of your apprenticeship framework.

Manuals and e-learning reosurces are supplied to help you in your learning.

Testimonials

John
Employer: Broadbents, Huddersfield

"We are delighted to say that your training has proven to be different. Your trainers talked to me before they talked to my staff to establish the needs of the company. Your trainers took note of what we needed and then went further by ensuring that my staff had the prerequisite knowledge, ability and desire to achieve what was going to be asked of them. The training was focused on the needs of this company; consequently to complete the training my staff had to become more involved in what we do and more importantly, why we do what we do. As a result of this involvement some of our systems have now changed for the better. In addition, the staff have developed a greater depth of knowledge about our systems, making implementation easier. "
