South Staffordshire College has 4 campuses across Staffordshire. We provide full-time and part-time courses and have a long history of collaborating with employers in the Midlands to introduce apprentices to the workplace in a flexible way that benefits your business. Apprenticeships are made up of 3 essential components:

• Information / Theory (Technical Certificate) – Usually delivered in college
• Practical Training (Work-based assessments – NVQ / Diploma)
• Functional Abilities (Maths, English, and sometimes IT)

All apprenticeships must last at least 12 months and you can start most apprenticeships at any time of the year.
