Bespoke Apprenticeship Services

Based in London, we work with employers and apprentices throughout the capital and the South East, including in Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Essex and Hertfordshire.

Our advisory service is free and a great place to start. We also offer expert apprenticeship recruitment services if you need to employ new staff and run a specialised apprenticeship payroll and apprentice HR service if you want to outsource this.

In addition, we can procure training from high quality approved apprenticeship training providers, Finally, we can mentor, coach and support your individual apprentices to ensure they are successful.

What’s more our apprenticeship levy services are designed to make sure that you are able to fully recover your levy and maximise the impact that your apprentices have on your business.

From the moment LAC sourced and tailored the apprentice to suit the needs of our business through to the ultimate graduation and full time hiring of them, LAC have supported each part of the program at all key stages of their development. The mix of a broad yet detailed academic approach they take coupled with the learning in the real business environment is one of the most effective ways to grow young people within any industry.

We had a very positive experience working with The London Apprenticeship Company. From the outset we were provided with clear information and the support we received from the team was excellent. We found they had a wide range of well prepared and eager candidates and ultimately we found an apprentice who suited our needs very well. We are happy to report our apprentice has grown to be an integral part of business.

Our experience of LAC has been that they are professional, helpful and under-standing. We had never taken on an Apprentice before, Leo was our first, we needed extra staff and an Apprentice was a logical choice. We are delighted with our Apprentice and how things have turned out and taking on an apprentice again is something we will endeavour to do in the future

Jade is great. She is an asset to the team. I’m glad we have her until she goes onto university and we wish her every success with her studies next year and her future career. I wish she wanted to pursue a career in Finance as she has just been brilliant, but I am sure the skills she has gained here will transfer over to any career she chooses... that’s the great thing about an apprenticeship. Ultimately, employers like experience, the apprenticeship gives young people a real opportunity to compete with more mature and experienced candidates because it gives them transferable skills....I think what also makes it work for the employer is LAC’s Apprentice Coordinators. Vanessa, Jade’s Apprentice Coordinator has been really helpful and has always been on hand whenever Jade needed advice, lessening any perceived “burden” on the employer.

Toby has made exceptional progress here at Printing.com Winchester and has definitely grown in confidence. Toby is always looking to learn new things. He has certainly fit into the company well, and I believe he has an exciting future ahead of him. I am happy that we have been able to help him on his way by taking him on as our apprentice.

How we help you

As an employer you can benefit from a full range of support and advice services designed to make it simple and more cost-effective for employers to create apprenticeships.

Our services can also be used to train and support your existing staff. We offer complete bespoke packages for sourcing, training and employing apprentices. Even better, we can help you access government grants and co-funding. In short, we’ve got it all covered.

We’re continuing to pioneer services and support related to apprentices (and graduate apprentices too). And with the new Apprenticeship Levy arriving in 2017 and affecting all employers with a payroll of £3m or more, we’re set to help more people than ever.
