Where will the locations be? Is there transportation?
Locations depend on the apprenticeship role. In some cases this will mean working from one office most of the time, but in other roles you could be travelling all over the county. Transport isn’t provided, but as we have people from all over the county working all over the county, we’re sure something could be arranged.

How do I get on to an apprenticeship?
Like any employee you will be interviewed to check your suitability for the role and you might even be asked to undertake some tests – this is not an exam. Getting an apprenticeship is very much like applying for a job - you will need to show your enthusiasm and keenness for the role.
