Apprenticeships and Management Training...

BCTS offer a variety of apprenticeship & management training programmes, many of which link in with our business programmes.

Most programmes are based on National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), although other specialist qualifications such as those for the Chartered Management Institute are delivered.

Courses for learners aged 16 to 19 and some for the 19+ age group are funded by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) and are free to participants.
