What are Apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are training programmes for employees, tailored for full-time employees wishing to enhance their
skills in the workplace and gain a relevant and up-to-date
qualification.
At West Herts College we have wide ranging Apprenticeship programmes:
- Professional cookery
- Multi-skilled hospitality
- Food and drink service
- Front office
- Customer service
- Motor vehicle mechanics
- Electrical installation
- Plumbing
- Hairdressing
- Sports recreation
Trainees will achieve an NVQ qualification awarded by City and Guilds,
based on assessment that takes place in the workplace.
All Apprenticeship programmes require learners to successfully complete
some key skills qualifications as well as learning underpinning theoretical
knowledge (technical certificate) that is central to their job. The
programmes are delivered in small off the job workshops, either at work or
at College (day release).
