We will invite all our judges, finalists and finalist's plus ones, as well as coaches and employer representatives, to the Awards Ceremony. The awards will take place at the Bristol Harbour Hotel in Bristol on Wednesday 8th November 2023. 

The LLAA23 will bring together over 160 guests. Our guests will include our finalists, their plus ones, coaches, employer representative and our Lifetime people. We'll have a networking space at the end of the ceremony. 

Learner: If you've been nominated for the Awards and submitted your finalist learner form, we will contact you from the 22nd of September.

Apprentice Champion and Coaches: If you've been nominated for the Awards, we will contact you from the 22nd of September.

You can nominate as many people as you like. Please make sure that you provide the correct nominee contact details, as we will let them know they were nominated via email. 

We won't reveal who is nominating them. 

To nominate a learner, visit the nomination page here. You will need to fill in some of their details and then answer three questions about why you think they deserve to win.

Learners must have an end date before December 2023. We would especially love to recognise learners who are on their second or third apprenticeship with us.

To nominate your Lifetime Coach or Tutor visit the nomination page here and fill in the form.

You will need to fill in your details about them and then tell us how this person demonstrates Lifetime’s DNA while delivering a consistently outstanding experience for our learners.

To nominate an Apprentice Champion, visit the nomination page here and fill in the form. You will need to provide details about them and how they've done the most to support Apprentices achieve their goals.

Coaches: We are looking for votes from learners, learner managers or our employers to nominate our Coaches. This is because we know they will be best placed to judge their coaching abilities.

Learners: We are looking for votes from Lifetime Coaches and Tutors to nominate learners, but we also welcome nominations from learner's manager and/or employer.

Apprentice Champion: We are looking for votes from Lifetime Coaches and Tutors as well as Employers to nominate Apprentice Champions, as they can tell us first-hand how that Champion has made an exceptional impact.
