Apprenticeship Liaison Officer
An Apprenticeship Liaison Officer is available at the College to monitor your progression, help with any problems you may encounter and act as a point of contact for both you and your employer.

“I firmly believe that choosing an apprenticeship over university allowed me to acquire a diverse set of skills that I might have missed out on otherwise. Tom’s “thirst for knowledge” landed him both a Distinction Grade, and an internal promotion. Now a Senior Marketing Executive, Tom has used the skills acquired during his apprenticeship to implement an annual marketing strategy, and to participate in the launch of a new website.”
