Adult learning with BTG
- better skills, better future

Thanks to additional funding from the Learning and Skills Council, BTG can now offer Adult Apprenticeship programmes. Adult Apprenticeships are learning programmes designed for adults aged 24 and over and carry full or partial funding. Apprentices train on-the-job, learning the specific skills that their employers most need in their workforce. NVQs are work-based qualifications that recognise an individual’s ability to carry out a particular job role to national standards. We offer NVQ programmes up to Level 4 and can deliver the training in the workplace.

Adult Apprenticeships

BTG offer Adult Apprenticeships and NVQs in:
• Business administration
• Engineering
• Motor vehicle
• construction
In addition, employees who have successfully completed an NVQ trough Train to Gain will be funded to go on to achieve a full apprenticeship.
