Accelerator support

Support for Year 1 apprentices

We know it can be challenging starting an apprenticeship and juggling new work and training commitments.

That’s why we’ve created a series of free online workshops to help you keep on track with your career goals.

If you’re a first year apprentice enrolled in our Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying, Electrical or Scaffolding courses, check out the free workshop schedules below.

Each online session will be run by a qualified assessor who will be able to answer any questions you may have. The aim of the sessions is to give you and other Year 1 apprentices support to progress through your units and feel in control of your learning.

For more information, please contact your EarnLearn Account Manager.
