Apprenticeship Training Opportunities

Hello all

Just a quick reminder for you all that the YMCA will be setting up a stand near to Reception today over the lunch period. They are here to speak to anyone interested in their Apprenticeship training programmes (Childcare, Business Admin, Customer Services) and will be pleased to advise on how to enrol for a place after Long Road. For anyone who thinks that these courses are simply for low achievers, please think again – they are currently offering courses up to NVQ level 3 and so offer a real alternative to classroom study.
