An apprenticeship is a training programme that combines teaching sessions with on-the-job training. It provides a great opportunity for individuals to gain practical experience and develop valuable skills that can help them advance their careers. However, finding the right apprenticeship provider can be challenging. Here are some tips to help you find the right apprenticeship provider:
- Research: Conduct research on different apprenticeship providers and the programmes they offer. Look at their track record, success rates, and the industries they serve. For example, at Montessori Apprentice Academy we have 80% of our learners achieve distinction at EPA.
- Accreditation: Ensure that the apprenticeship provider is accredited by a recognised organisation. Accreditation ensures that the training programme meets the required standards and that you’ll receive a recognised qualification upon completion. For example, at Montessori Apprentice Academy we are accredited by TQUK to deliver Early Years Apprenticeships.
- Industry Connections: Look for an apprenticeship provider with strong industry connections. This can provide you with access to job opportunities and networking opportunities after completing your apprenticeship. At Montessori Apprentice Academy we have several industry connections from helping to place Apprentices at our recommended Montessori and EYFS nurseries to supporting graduating learner’s progress further onto the Level 5 apprenticeship.
- Program Duration: Check the duration of the apprenticeship programme and whether it fits your schedule. Some programs may be full-time while others may be part-time or flexible.
- Support: Look for an apprenticeship provider that provides support throughout the programme. This can include mentorship, counseling, and career advice. At Montessori Apprentice Academy we provide exceptional development coaches who are supportive to each individual learners needs.
- Funding: Check if the apprenticeship provider offers any financial support or funding options. Some providers may offer scholarships, bursaries, or government funding to help cover the cost of the training programme. At Montessori Apprentice Academy we offer funded government apprenticeships but if that’s not the route for you we also offer privately funded courses.
- Reviews: Look for reviews and testimonials from past students. This can give you an idea of the quality of the programme and the support provided by the apprenticeship provider. At Montessori Apprentice Academy we are proud of the service we offer, and our trust pilot reviews are a testament to the excellent service we provide.
