Student Services

You’re not here to be coddled. You’re here to win. But even the most driven apprentice needs a solid support team behind them. That’s us. From day one to graduation – and beyond – we’ve got your back.

We Don’t Just Throw You In. We Gear You Up.

Before you step foot in the lab or on the factory floor, we make sure you’re ready to fight smart. Tools prepped. Systems ready. People in place. No surprises. No wasted time.

But once you’re in? That’s when it gets real.

Because science and tech don’t stop for anyone. You’ll be balancing real work with real study. You’ll be tested. Pushed. Sometimes knocked off course. That’s why we stay in your corner – from day one to the finish line.

Get in Touch
Balfour Beatty has been very supportive and accommodating, they made sure throughout my apprenticeship I received all the time and help I needed, with things like evidence gathering, competencies and such like.
