Now is the time to take on or up skill an existing employee by achieving an Apprenticeship

There has never been a better time to employ an apprentice or start an apprenticeship.

Our long term, unique relationship with Exeter College and our achievement in obtaining registration on the Registration of Approved Training Providers is giving us the opportunity to offer two apprenticeship programmes for the Logistics and Warehousing Industries. Below is some facts on the great benefits in taking on or up skilling an existing member of staff in achieving their Apprenticeship. The Large Goods Vehicle Driver apprenticeship includes individuals gaining their lorry licence and the Warehouse Operative Apprenticeship includes Fork Lift Truck training, manual handling and other related qualifications.
