Crackerjack Training

Crackerjack Training is an independent training provider based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, specialising in vocational education and apprenticeships across the Midlands. The organisation delivers work‑focused training designed to help learners progress into employment or further study, with provision aimed at both young people and adults. Apprenticeship training is offered in sectors such as early years/childcare, beauty therapy, hairdressing and digital, with programmes aligned to apprenticeship standards and supported by on‑ and off‑the‑job learning. Alongside apprenticeships, Crackerjack Training offers full‑time study programmes for school leavers at Levels 2 and 3 in childcare and beauty, adult learning routes (including options funded via Advanced Learner Loans), and TAQA qualifications for those wishing to become assessors or internal quality assurers. The provider is listed on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers and funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency, and was graded “Good” in all areas by Ofsted at its most recent inspection in February 2023. All programmes are delivered with a focus on inclusive support and helping learners gain nationally recognised qualifications.
