Enrolment Process

Getting started is simple and fully supported. Once interest is registered, both the learner and employer are invited to a friendly information call with our delivery team. This call explains how the programme works, what to expect from the training and assessment, and how the programme will support business objectives and individual career development.

The next step is completing the application and funding paperwork. Our team manages this process closely, guiding employers and learners through each stage to ensure everything is completed smoothly, accurately and with minimal administration time.

Before the programme begins, learners take part in an online induction. This introduces the learning platform, course structure, support services and key contacts, ensuring everyone feels confident, informed and ready to begin from day one.
