What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a training agreement between an employer, learner and the funding agent. An apprenticeship provides the opportunity to recruit ambitious and motivated young people, with the support of BEST and financial assistance. Apprentices trained within your company will provide a strong foundation to your staff base and show your commitment to the future development of your business and the building services sector as a whole.

The net benefits of taking on an apprentice are worth more than £100,000, with cost recovery possible as early as the second year!

On completion of training, the apprentice will have a recognised industry grading as a skilled operative/ craftsperson.
