We manage your apprenticeship training
At the London Apprenticeship Company we’ve managed the training of some 5,000 apprentices. They’ve been trained by 50 different providers. But things are changing. So we’ve also played a key role in setting up a brand new fit-for-purpose specialist provider focused only on delivery high quality apprenticeships for employers – the College of Apprenticeship Training.
Getting the best in high quality training comes down to contracting with the right provider in the first place and then having a very clear agreement about service standards and expectations. There are literally thousands of registered providers, so how do we select those that we work with?
Partly we know who is good because we know from experience (as we’ve managed the training of so many apprentices) but there are some key things that we look for. For example, we insist that our providers use an online e-portfolio that is monitored by an external examiner. That’s the only way we have found of being able to accurately track how well an apprentice is doing.
Then we look at things like OFSTED grades and previous client feedback. We also look at the CVs of the staff that will be training your apprentices to make sure teachers and assessors are experienced and fully qualified and we listen to the feedback of apprentices too.
What we do:
- Plan the training that you need
- Design an effective delivery model
- Procure training providers on your behalf
- Ensure the provider(s) deliver high quality training
- Manage teaching and learning to a fixed schedule
- Report monthly on the progress of apprentices in detail
- Implement improvements to your programme
- Keep you up to date with new apprenticeships as they become available
Get the right provider and you’ll have a great apprenticeship scheme. Get the wrong one and sadly you may find that your apprentice’s time, your time and your money have been wasted.
That’s why it makes sense if we do all of the management of your training providers for you.

We know who does what best!
We pretty much know every training provider in London and we’ll recommend those who can successfully deliver your programme.
You’ll probably need more than one provider – but that’s ok, we’ve got almost all types of apprenticeship covered.
