“The Apprentices bring a real passion and enthusiasm into the department. It’s given us an opportunity to provide training that we otherwise would not have been able to provide, and helps us support both health and fitness, as well as the operational elements of the business.”
Apprenticeships provide a great way to review skills gaps and provide real long-term benefit to your business. It also allows you to offer an opportunity to someone that otherwise wouldn’t have had it.”
Richard Bean, Operations Manager at the University of Exeter Sport
“I’ve always had a passion for sport, health and fitness and so the Personal Training Apprenticeship was an obvious choice for me! When you pick a course that you have a real interest in, it makes learning so much easier. It was really nice to be part of a group of like-minded people who all have similar interests and want to use the course to develop themselves professionally, while applying their new found knowledge in the workplace.
An Apprenticeship is perfect, as I’m able to train alongside my job and earn a wage at the same time.”
Ben Snow, University of Exeter, Level 3 Personal Training Apprenticeship
