Apprenticeships help to reduce team turnover, increase employee engagement and provide us with the opportunity to grow our own talent by investing in our people and supporting their ambitions. It is so important to support young people to get that all important first step on the career ladder. Apprenticeships should be considered as a real option as they provide valuable skills to help build a career in hospitality

Lifetime Training was the obvious choice as it is such a reputable company. They are highly experienced and the courses on offer are fantastic. By training with Lifetime I know that I am investing in quality education and that I will have a great experience as well.

I'm so please I made the choice that I did! The nursery I volunteered at interviewed me and asked me to come in for a 'play day' and were so impressed they put me in touch with the team at their sister nursery. I secured a 12-month contract initially and was then offered a permanent position based on my performance

Promises are kept to. There’s trust in our relationship. It’s professional, yet flexible. I really feel like Claire’s is Lifetime's only contract. I know it’s not but the service we receive is second to none and I truly feel like we’re getting value for money

Before I joined the fitness industry I was a very overweight, very unfit, travel agent. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine I would be a successful freelance personal trainer, running my own bootcamp classes. Ultimately the qualification with Lifetime Training has led to me fulfilling my ultimate goal of purchasing my own gym.

Gaining a qualification gave me the drive and motivation to develop my knowledge and skills. Being employer as a Chef has heightened my sense of self-esteem.

I took a carer role straight out of sixth form and with the help of my Level 2 and Level 3 apprenticeship training, I've climbed the ladder from carer to care coordinator managing and supporting teams of carers. Next steps uni and a more senior role!

The partnership with Lifetime Training, one of the UK’s top training providers, has created a bespoke programme that offers individuals on the job training from professionally qualified experts, on site mentors, development workshops and master classes.

Apprentices are better because they learn how to do their job really well and our businesses are better because our apprentices are bringing new ideas and great ways of working into their workplaces! We couldn’t do it without our great partnership with Lifetime Training who provide the expertise to train our apprentices to be the best they can be.

My confidence level has improved 100%. I was a very person and would find talking in group hard/ I would shy away fro situations, I am now talking in all situations and to anyone who will listen. I also feel pride in myself knowing i ha a qualification that will make my future a brighter one
