How to Find an Apprenticeship Training Provider

There are 2 steps employers need to complete to choose the right apprenticeship training for their organisation.

1. Choose an apprenticeship training course
2. Find a training provider

Find out more about what you can look for when choosing a training provider (opens in a new tab).

Find out about courses

If you search for a course, we’ll show you:

• the courses that best match your search, and any similar courses
• some details about the courses, including level, duration and funding
• how many training providers run the course

You can add the town, city or postcode of your workplace when you’re searching, to see what training providers deliver in your location. You can also browse all courses and filter by apprenticeship level or job category (sector).

Finding a training provider

After you choose the course you want, you can find a training provider who offers the training.

If you’ve put in a location, we’ll sort the results by distance (nearest to furthest away). If you do not put in a location, we’ll sort the results by achievement rate (highest to lowest).

If you’re not seeing any training providers, you may need to increase the distance the apprentice can travel. Or you can request a provider delivers this training if there are no providers available.

You can re-sort and filter the results if you’d like, including by employer and apprentice reviews, achievement rating, and what training options you want (such as at your

workplace or on site at a training provider’s location). The training provider may offer a combination of these options.

Viewing information about providers and contacting them

If you select the training provider’s name from the list of results, you can view information about them, including the:

• training options they offer for that course and distances to their training locations
• achievement rate for that course from the last academic year, compared with the national achievement rate
• participation in that course since they started delivering it
• reviews and feedback from employers and apprentices from the last 5 years
•  ways to contact that training provider

When you’re ready, you can contact the provider about the apprenticeship training course using the contact details we provide.

Shortlist training providers

As you view different training providers and explore their available options, you can add them to a shortlist. This allows you to compare providers and decide who is right for you.

Search for a specific training provider

If you know a training provider’s name or UK provider reference number (UKPRN), you can search for them using ‘Search for a training provider’. We’ll show you a general page about this training provider, including participation and achievement rates for all courses they deliver. You can select a course they deliver on this page to view course-specific details.
