Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you’ll do at work
As a training company we provide a range of different solutions, utilizing and working with a number of awarding bodies. Each awarding body has their own paperwork, requirements, cards, certificates, audits etc.
Every week we will have a variety of courses on, to be delivered by the numerous instructors we use, and we require someone to help with the administration of this key business function.
Preparing the paperwork for the specific courses that we are delivering, looking for ways to streamline the process. (For example, we recently created an application to automatically overlay data onto the PDF Documentation and print them for one of our accreditations)
Our intention is that the first part of the apprenticeship will be to learn and understand the needs of the business, support the day-to-day operations but as that becomes second nature to implement ways to automate, streamline and reduce the time taken to complete these tasks from hours to minutes. Therefore, towards the end of the apprenticeship, the focus can develop into a more analytical role, helping the business to grow and develop into the market leader and not just a competitor.
- Answering Inbound Calls, Invigilating HSE Tests, responding to emails, meet & greet with learners when the first arrive
- Printing, preparing course paperwork before the course and scanning resulting course paperwork upon completion to request cards/certificates
- Help to integrate digital solutions to improve business efficiency.
- Support the day-to-day operations of the business
- General Administrative Tasks and Housekeeping Duties
