Type of training provider

There are four types of training provider:

A National Provider is a training provider that is able to offer apprenticeship training in any location across England. Some national providers might also offer training in the devolved nations, i.e. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

An FE college is a state-funded provider that can offer a broad range of training options in a particular location to a range of employers.

A Specialist Provider is a training provider that is not state-funded and tends to offer training in specialist sectors or locations.

Universities offer training for Degree Apprenticeships or Higher Apprenticeships, sometimes running specialist courses for apprentices on a particular standard.

SMB College Group is a leading Further and Higher Education college based in Leicestershire, specialising in land-based, sport, technical, trade and creative arts across 3 campuses. A wide range of study options are offered, including full-time courses, apprenticeships, Undergraduate programmes, industry qualifications, and more.

SMB College Group works with hundreds of employers across the UK to support apprentices through their training in a wide variety of sectors. The College recently won the Nachural Entrepreneurship Award for Promoting Apprenticeships, recognising the excellent work they do with local and national businesses, offering apprenticeships and up-skilling employees to build sustainable, ambitious workforces of the future.

The School Leaver Awards

The School Leaver Awards celebrate the top employers and training providers for school and college leavers on apprenticeship programmes.

Apprentices complete feedback surveys, rating each element of their training with a score out of 100. There are four questions asked about training providers:

  • How would you rate the teaching provided by your training provider?
  • How satisfied are you with the quality of assessment and feedback provided by your training provider?
  • How would you rate your overall learning experience, including the facilities, resources and classroom environment?
  • How satisfied are you with the support you have been given by your training provider, outside of your training, i.e. personal development and welfare?

The score is the mean average of all the responses for that specific training provider. The average is the mean average score of all training providers. The position is where the training provider ranks compared with other training providers who took part.
