This programme has been designed from the ground up to develop and recognise the know-how needed to provide the excellent service our customers demand. There’s a lot to learn in our branches and some of our best operators have a wealth of knowledge gained from years of experience. We will fast-track you to this knowledge by taking you through a structured programme of training and one to one coaching.

This programme is suited to anyone in an administrative role, whether you are based in branch or the support services. You will develop a set of highly transferable skills, including project management and decision making, which will give you a foundation to progress towards management responsibilities. There will be training given in IT applications and systems such as Microsoft Office. You will also have the opportunity to complete your Maths and English Level 2, should you not already have them. At the end of this programme you will gain a Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship.
